Levi's 501 Shrink to Fit (STF)

[501XX4EVER]

[Capibaro]

When I was young I lived in Levi's 501 STF. Found a box filled with once dark indigo jeans that now are super faded but awesome imho. Feels like I just got 6 new pairs of jeans for free (while they off were already mine). They still fit like a glove and have many more years of wear in them. The denim is still super thick with only a few knees getting thin or near blowing out.

Funny that I gave up on some 501's in recent years. Apparently I was better at this fading game when I was young and did not obsess about fading ;-)

Agreed, I think the real key to fading is to just not care and wear the hell out of your jeans.

Hey there. STF 501s are on sale on Amazon for $52 "for a limited time," reg. price is $80. A couple days ago the product description said Made in Mexico. I don't see that now. I ordered a pair to see what they're like after getting a number of LVC and premium pairs over the past few years. I ordered 34 x 34 because that's the size that fits best for me in STF with the others.

Quick snap of this pair I’ve had in rotation for the last 4.5 years, been my primary pair this past year or two

Has anyone put together any measurement guides for the 501 stfs?
