Vintage Levi's 501

The original Levi's jean, second-hand and hand-picked in Barcelona. Vintage 501s for women and men, each listed with its real measurements.

What makes the 501 special

The 501 is the original Levi's jean: a straight leg, a regular fit through the seat and thigh, and a button fly instead of a zip. It has been made for well over a century, and vintage pairs are among the most wanted pieces in second-hand denim.

A 501 for everyone

The 501 was first made for men, but today it is worn by everyone, and many of our pairs suit any gender. Browse all women's Levi's jeans or men's Levi's jeans to compare it with other cuts.

Sizing a vintage 501

Vintage 501s often measure smaller than their label, because years of washing can take a size off. Always check the real waist and length on each listing, and use our Levi's size guide to measure a pair you already own.
