Levis 501 shrink to fits!

50 bucks on their website! I could do that!

How does their sizing work? I am looking for something more towards the SLIM/skinny scale (really dislike WIDE pant leg styles)

Edit: for example, the bottom of the pants look way too wide for my taste!

I can't speak to the fit of the 501s, but the 511s fit pretty close (even though I still usually pin them).

Would this be the pair?

How often are you wash raw denim for first time? Or after that.

Yep, those are the ones. I have yet to wash either of my pairs of raw denim (never throw the Levi's in the washing machine either). One pair I've had for about a month, the other since Christmas. Though I have to wear a uniform everyday, so neither pair gets a ton of use. Really how often you wash them just kinda depends on how much you feel like. You could do it a few times a year, once a year, or every few years if you're hardcore. And even then just a soak in water. In between washes you can just hang them up outside for a bit if they start to smell a bit.

Is there a magic number on how often you are suppose to wash it? Are you also saying you never wash your regular Levi's too?

Awesome! Thanks for the info! It seems the general consensus for raw jeans is to just wash as few times as possible. I really want to get into raw denim and it seems like a pair of 511's water< would do!

Well, for actual starter raw denim, I'd check out Gustin. They have a lot of pairs on the cheaper end of the spectrum.

Do you have any pairs and can you speak for any fit similar to 511's?

Well actually I have a pair of Naked and Famous Left Hand Twills in a Weird Guy fit and those are basically the same fit as the 511s. For those you'll want to go a size down (so I got a 32 when I normally wear a 34).

Although for the cuffs, you might want to go with the Stacked Guys, as those are made to have slim leg openings

Didn't notice this thread before! Slightly excited to share the stuff I like.

I enjoy:

Left Field NYC Denim
Outlier Pants
Rick Owens jackets
Uniqlo shirts (some tees, some button downs)
H&M or COS basics
CK boxer-briefs (can't forget this one)
CK thin socks
Converse leather JPs in black

It's a bit difficult to describe what I like, but basically I care about good fits, decent materials, durable, willing to spend more on jackets and pants, but love well priced basics. I prefer buying good looking clothes that are simply great looking, timeless, and not so flashy/trendy.

No logos whatsoever, at least nothing gaudy.

I kinda wonder if anyone shares similar preferences, haha.

Can't stand logos either.  Some are okay, but others make me go "wtf?" such as this polo: http://www.eventteesnj.com/images/large/eventteesnj/-Dress-White-Lo-Ralph-Lauren-Big-Logo-Men486_LRG.jpg

Had a few H&M shirt as basics, but have also been using up my local Old Navy and Gap Factory too.
Wish there was a Uniqlo by me to try their stuff on.  Almost snagged some of their selvedge denim when it was on sale, but figured it wouldn't fit well (have large thighs).

Have Converse JPs too.  Although mine are white canvas.  Right now mainly wearing my Clark Desert Boots in beeswax.  Get a lot of compliments on them actually.

Still trying to branch out from just the basics.

Concerning the Levi's 501 STF discussion:

I wear 34x29 ish. So I ordered a pair of 35x30 and I shrunk them according to this guide.

I wash mine about once every 2-3 months. But you can wash them more or less than you want. And you could machine wash them if you like (it says on the tag you can machine wash em) or just soak them. I go for a soak and air dry. You could also just buy them at your exact size (So I'd get a pair of 34x29) and wear them raw. jwaz linked me this when I asked about washing jeans.

I have two pairs of 501STFs. I got one tailored with a slight taper and it's my favorite pair of jeans now.

The Levis seem like the most affordable pair and a good gateway into raw denim!

It seems that Levi's  is dropping the 36Lenght, they are harder and harder to find for me.
They are the only pants long enough for me :|

Saw a post on /r/FrugalMaleFashion about free 1 year subscription to GQ:  http://gentlemansbox.com/free-year-of-gq-magazine/

The site is advertising their Gentleman's Box. Figured I'd give it a go for $10.  Hope I get a cool pair of socks at the least.

Also found a pair of Levi 508's on Amazon for $30 shipped. Will probably snag a pair of them.

It arrived yesterday:


At least I got some nice socks.  Have no use for the Kiko leather passport holder or the wooden wooden luggage tag that I forgot to put in the pic. Was worth the try since it was only $10, but have since cancelled.

Grabbed this jacket in a medium at Macys yesterday too:

Got a new T-shirt for Christmas.

I like the shirt.


Been having the hardest time finding a decent pair of pants. I have tried Old Navy; Slim, standard, taper. The Gap; slim, Straight, Standard Taper, and Levi's: 501,511,513,514 all to being disappointed in one way or another. I liked the Levi's 508, but it is becoming more difficult to find in stores as it has been discontinued.  Finally checked out Marshall's and saw a 522.  Heard they were nothing similar to the 508, but figured it wouldn't hurt.

Thing fit like a glove, and was only $25.  And now I'm frustrated as Levi's website had selvedge 522 for $60, and now that I know I like the 522 they remove it.  Just. My. Luck.

Did also buy my first real raw denim/selvedge and should be here Wed.  Pair of UB201 by Unbranded.  Prime shipping + free returns, figured it wouldn't hurt.

Also got this Merona sweatshirt from my brother for Christmas: http://www.target.com/p/men-s-crew-sweatshirt-pomegranate-mystery-merona/-/A-17346731#prodSlot=medium_2_34&term=men+merona  Like it a lot so far

Thanks, unfortunately they were just a tad too tight. Luckily Amazon prime will allow me to ship them back for free.

Tried on a size 33 while in Indy:


Was the only Unbranded jeans they had left. Sales rep said they had a sale earlier and sold every N&F jean they had. Too bad as I wanted to compare it with the Weird Guy.

Also managed to snag Levi's 522 selvedge in hutching for ~$40 shipped. http://www.levi.com/US/en_US/mens-jeans/p/168820010
Normally $120 on their website.  Might be a little too long, but nothing a hem or cuff couldn't fix.  Really like the 522 I'm wearing right now, but have wanted one in selvedge. Great timing.

never been big on drop crotch pants. bieber really started that trend and I always thought it looked a little silly especially since it was at a time wear clothes were trending toward becoming more and more fitted and guys were wearing pants right on their waist.
