Close your eyes. Think "jeans." Now open. They were 501s®, right? They're literally the blueprint for every pair of jeans in existence burned into the world's collective cortex ever since Levi Strauss (the man himself!) invented them in 1873. To this day they they've never gone out of style. And they never will.

Misleading description of product

The description of the product says that it’s 100% cotton yet it has stretch in the fabric, which it’s not 100% cotton. I will be returning these jeans.

Good fit, classic Levis

Macy's is my go-to destination for Levis. These fit well, and because you can choose your inseam length, no more cuffing or dragging of jeans hems.

Not 100% cotton

The online site says 100% cotton. No thry are notthey are 97%. I do not like denim with atretch. They do not hold their shape. I realized these exact pants in Nov 2025 and returned them. I kept these and wore them today. Wish I had returned them. Oh well. They will be my pants for yard work.

Great fit!

After trying on seven pairs of jeans, I finally found the perfect pair that fits me comfortably, but are not loose or baggy. Made of substantial material that feels like it will last, and not wear out easily. They are not "the flavor of the month" style. They are classic and timeless. I highly recommend these jesns!
