THESE JEANS ARE FAKE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2018

Size: 36W / 30LColour: OnewashVerified Purchase

Was not happy with the authenticity of these Original 501 Levi Jeans. So much so I contacted Levi about them. After sending them an image of them they have confirmed I was right in thinking they are fake. "ALL LEVI JEANS SHOULD HAVE LEVI AND AN R IN A CIRCLE PRINTED ON THE RED TAB ON THE BACK RIGHTHAND POCKET OF THE JEANS". They seem good quality but I never got what I paid for, Original 501 Levi Jeans. So no matter what the sellers are saying the really are fake.

Fit completely wrong

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2018

Size: 32W / 30LColour: BlackVerified Purchase

I am unsure whether these are fake, factory rejects, or Levi's have modified the fit of 501s. This was my first pair of 501s I have bought in 3 years. They are normally my preferred fit but of recent found it difficult to find affordable pairs in the colours I want whenever I've been looking for new jeans. 501s and Wrangler's Arizona stretch are amongst the few decent quality trousers available amongst the trend towards heavily tapered or slim fit. Compared to most trousers 501s actually sit comfortably and give your legs enough room when walking.

As soon as I put on this pair though something felt off. Without a belt they didn't sit comfortably round my waist as I'm use to with 501. The seat of the trousers sits lower and it constantly feels like they are sliding down. The pockets are further round towards the front than normal and I noticed my knees are being restricted by the material when walking. As it's been 3 years since I bought a pair I thought it might just be initial 'stiffness' of the material. After wearing them outside though the issues became more apparent, with the material riding up into my crotch and with items in the front pockets it was much more obvious the pockets are definitely in a different position to most jeans - and all my previous pairs of 501s.

I decided to compare this new pair to a couple of older pairs I have. Whilst the cut of the older pairs are near identical, the new ones are a good 1.5 inches longer in the leg and the seams where the front and back half of the trousers are sowed together are ever so slightly closer to the front. In other words, there is less front material and more back compared to the older pairs. I am leaning towards these being factory rejects rather than fake. The fly buttons and patch on the back waist are identical to the older pairs. Also the tags looks genuine enough compared to the shoddy job you normally see with fake labels. Just wish I had decided to do the side-by-side comparison before wearing them outside. Looks like these are destined for a charity collection.

It does not fit right. I believe they may be fake

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2020

Size: 36W / 34LColour: SoliceVerified Purchase

Legs are way two long while rise is too tight and uncomfortable. I have a pair of Originals 511, I did order the same size for these pairs of 501's and it is nowhere even near in size and comfortablility compared to my other pair. I found few anomalies and inconsistencies compared to the other pair I bought from a Levi's shop that make me think these are fake. For instance the inside of the left pocket is not printed and the number in the back of the main button does not match with the one inside the info labels. I could also tell the leather of the waistband in the back was worse quality and with irregularities that usually indicates these are fake.

The best jeans I've bought in ages

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2020

Size: 32W / 30LColour: OnewashVerified Purchase

OK, so normally I object to paying Levis prices. After all, you can get a pair "just as good" from, let's say, Next for a quarter of the price. You're just paying for the name. Or so I thought.

I saw these as a "deal of the day" and, on a whim bought a pair and they're so much better than any I've worn in decades. They fit like a glove, they're flattering to wear and they're built from high quality materials. I've only had them a week or so so I can't comment on long term wear but I'd be surprised if I'm not wearing them for many years to come.

There has been some discussion in other reviews as to whether these jeans are fakes. I can't talk about other's purchases (obviously) but I checked the pair I bought against a number of test for fake Levis - did you know about the number on the back of the waist button matching the number on the washing instructions? I do now - and they passed every one. I'm convinced these are genuine and sold at a very competitive price.

LOW QUALITY LIGHTWEIGHT DENIM

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2016

Verified Purchase

Poor quality, lightweight denim. A mere shadow of the beautiful heavy denim jeans that were virtually compulsory in my teenage years in the 1970s. Yet Levi's have the audacity to charge over £50 for such flimsy rubbish. They aren't even made in the USA any more! I feel cheated. Much better value are the Dickies WD1693 stonewashed work jeans that I bought six months ago from Amazon for a third of the price (£18.20). They are made of the heavy denim that Levis' used to made from and are excellent quality. I have worn them several times a week, washed them probably 25 times, and they are wearing in nicely, just like Levi's used to. I recommend you forget the rubbish churned out on Levi's behalf in Bangladesh and opt for Dickies instead.
PS: Incidentally, I have no vested interest in either product: I bought both pairs with my own hard-earned. I have also recently bought a pair of Wranglers, also from Amazon, but have not yet worn them enough to assess for a review.

98% cotton, 2% elastane ... these are thinner than the 501s I was expecting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2020

Verified Purchase

I could feel the light weight of the fabric through the package in which it was delivered. These are not the 501s that I was expecting. The material is astonishingly light weight and feels thin. I've suit trousers for work that feel thicker and heavier. The external viewer can see they're thin when they look at the seams. They also stretch a bit ... which, I guess, is where the elastane comes in. If you're looking for 501s that feel like 501s then I'd steer clear of the pair that I have bought. I won't buy another, but I'll keep this pair for days that I'm slouching around the flat and want to wear something that are as thin and comfortable as pyjamas but not quite as obvious.
