A cultural icon. Worn by generations, defining style for decades. Since Levi's invented it in 1873, the 501 Original has been a blank canvas for self-expression. An iconic straight fit with the signature button fly and an authentic look and feel. With no added stretch, the 501 Original sits at the waist and is regular through the thigh with a straight leg. Can be worn with a clean rolled hem or full length, whichever you prefer. For a classic all-American look, pair with a Levi’s Trucker Jacket and a simple crewneck tee.
More than 140 years after inventing the blue jean, one thing is clear: Levi’s clothes are loved by the people who wear them - from presidents to movie stars, farmers to fashion icons, entrepreneurs to the everyman. 'Live in Levi’s’ asserts with confidence and pride that Levi’s clothes are indeed for everybody who’s not just anybody.
The ultimate icon of American culture, the one that started it all—the Original 501 Jean. They're tried and true, pure and simple, the one and only.
