Levi 501 vs 505 - Understanding the Difference

what are those angles bro doesn't your camera have a timer?

501 for the win!

The 501 rinsed jeans that I've bought in the last year are noticeably baggier in the thigh than the 505 jeans bought in the last year. Let's face it; they're made overseas in lots of different countries and there is very little consistency in the fit.

Good information 👍

The 501 STF and the “original fit” are different as well, the STF has five buttons where the original fit has four, the STF conforms more to the individual wearer due to them shrinking to size, and at one time the STF had a double stitch inseam and the originals did not; now there is no difference between the two in that regard. All being said, the 501 STF and 505 would be a more close comparison

For me, they are kissing cousins. The 505 are regular fit, and 501 are almost slim fit.

I bought a pair of 514 slim fit, and they fit like 501s with a zipper.

505s absolutely sit a little higher.

If I had to pick one pair of jeans for the rest of my life, it would be the 505.

I like 505 for work and 501 for the weekend mostly because the button fly on the 501 is just inconvenient but I definitely like the fit better.

Excellent work man 👌👌👌

Nice

Wow thanx for this information, never knew this. Been wearing 501's with boots since forever and always thought that only the buttons and zipper were the difference

Thank you- you are a gentleman.

I ended up buying 501’s because the 505’s in my waist size i could not get up over my thighs.

501 is regular fit

Do you prefer zipper or button fly

A love you 505

¡Olvidaste decir una cosa: los 501 son de tiro mas corto que el 505!

I loved 501s since I was 20. Here it is 40 years later, I still love them but have to plan my outings around them because it requires more time to unbutton when I have to use the bathroom. Lol.

My pair of 501 are made in china

100 % 👍✔

Thanks for the info bro. V helpful. Future buy I'll get both.

Is there a difference in the frontal and back rise?

Girls don’t want to see tight jeans on a guy!!!

Where’s I can get it in Vietnam

Levi's Are Not for working people any Longer- their for young people who are constantly Like on like their like cell phones who could care less how much they cost and are overpriced but are a making a prestigious statement in threre like mindset ! Like As If !

Good content.. I watch all video and I really like your channel specially I’m big fan of Levi’s since I’m young and now, I know the difference fit cause I use to buy only 501. Thanks!

Levis catting farmula

Straight to the point no dragged on video gotta love it man and thanks for the info btw !!

comparing 501 and 505 or any other two cuts with each others is nowadays not very straightforward. Levis has lost its quality control since it's producing them in different countries and as a result, for example the 501 in the same size may vary in its cut dependent mainly on the country but also on the material used.

are the 505 jeans stretchy? i’ve never owned a pair of levi jeans, and i bought a pair in a smaller size than usual, they haven’t came in yet and i don’t know.

I had both I thought the only difference was the zipper but your right now that o think a bout it but I mean if you like the zipper you can go one size bigger on the waist so they fit like 505 I miss the 501 tidal wave it’s disscontinue

What pair would be better for a slim person?? 501 or 505 straight leg?

Excellent video. I have been trying to tell people that 501 and 505 are differently cut. 501 does indeed feel a tighter cut

I've just done a comparison of my 505s and 501s both same sizes, the results are different the 501s are a more relaxed fit on the thighs than the 505s, and the 505s are more tapperd, they are an inch narrower at the bottom than the 501s. There again I have two pairs of same sized 505s but the cuts are slightly different.

I prefer 501 for going out and 505 for just relaxing.
501 are the perfect jeans

What size waist are you wearing in the vid ?

I bought 505s ...two of them

As a retail worker at a Levi's, I must say I wish all our shoppers could see this video!

your voice sounds just like Mr.Nightmare, you have the perfect voice for narrating spooky stories! also thank you for the review

how tall are you? what are the lenghts on these?

I know this is going to sound crazy, but in terms of quality, look for Made In Mexico. I'm in my 501s made in Mexico and they have been amazing. I got them at JCP for $40, best money I've spent on denim.

Which color/wash is/these in this video ?

Could you maybe do a video on different rises? I’m a young guy and mostly wear low rise since thats the style.
