Levi's® Vintage Clothing Men's 1954 501® Jeans

This is my first purchase from Levi's and I've been looking for a good heritage-inspired style that would suit my wardrobe. Needless to say, the LVC 1954 jeans ticked all of my boxes except for one thing, I wish the rise would have been a bit higher. I usually tuck my shirts in and it's more flattering to have a higher rise for a tall and slender body like mine. Nevertheless, the jeans look and feels great. I can clearly tell the quality from touching the denim. As for the fit, it's a good thing that I did a little bit of research before buying it, because I would've gotten my usual size in jeans which is size 33. This is a shrink-to-fit jeans, meaning the jeans would shrink as soon as you wash it. That's why it is advisable to go 2 sizes up when choosing from the LVC collection. I wish AU Levi's website has more information about this especially for people buying online. Knowing about the nature of the jeans, I still went for size 34x34 (unfortunately, that's the only available size online) which weirdly enough fits about right on my waist pre-washed. After washing it with cold water, the hem now rest nicely on my ankle which is how I prefer it. The jeans is hugging just right on my legs as well and doesn't restrict my movements too much. The waist however, is a bit tight but still wearable. At least I can still tuck my tee or shirts in there without looking like a muffin. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase and would definitely get the bigger size as I'm eyeing the 1955 jeans for my next buy.

Ordered some of these - got sent totally the wrong jeans - never really got a proper apology- now I see they are not saying if they are shrink to fit or not ! Come on - up your game !! Don’t know if to trust ordering again.

These are shrink fit despite not described as such on the website. The ones I bought were true to size at the waist and an inch longer in the leg. That worked out perfectly for the sit in the warm bath method of shrinking for 30 mins. They are now the perfect length and waist is ok too. The denim is much stiffer than my other pre washed jeans. They are expensive but comfy and I hope will be with me some time. Read instructions for size and shrinking before purchasing I was lucky.
