What do Levi size numbers mean?

For men, each number in the Levi’s collection signifies the overall sit, including the rise of the waist, the cut of the leg opening, and the fit of the seat. For women, each style number indicates the fit through the waist, hips and thighs, with many leg shapes and cuts to choose from.

Do Levis usually run small?

Generally speaking, Levi’s clothing will all fit pretty true to size. It’s worth noting that if you prefer baggier and slightly oversized looks you may need to size up when purchasing any Levi’s pieces as a lot of the pieces are more form fitting.

Are Levi’s big or small fitting?

One important note on these jeans: they run VERY small. Like I said above, I typically wear a 26 in most other denim brands, and a 27 in the other Levi’s styles I own but I wear a 28 in these. So I would suggest going up two sizes… which seems crazy, but trust me on this one!

What does 501 mean in Levis?

Lot numbers are first assigned to the products being manufactured. 501® is used to designate the famous copper-riveted waist overalls. We don’t know why this number was chosen. We also made a 201 jean, which was a less expensive version of the pants, as well as other products using other three-digit numbers.

How do you read Levi’s style number?

Model Number This is the model or lot number of the pair of jeans which is used to identify them.

Many also have the model number printed on labels on the inside of the garment.
