The archive shows how one model name can appear across different sizes, rises, fits, fabrics and washes. Exact garment measurements are therefore more useful than relying on the model name or W/L label alone.

These observations describe individual second-hand pieces handled by VDA. They are not official manufacturer sizing specifications.

Levi’s 501 variations documented by VDA

The VDA archive currently documents five Levi’s 501-family examples. Four are men’s straight-leg 501 pairs, while one women’s 501 S example is recorded as a slimmer high-rise variation within the wider 501 family.

The documented men’s pairs span several waist and inseam combinations, including archived examples that remain useful for measurement comparison after sale. Where fabric composition is clearly recorded, rigid 100% cotton examples are preserved as part of the archive data.

How to compare a Levi’s 501

Compare flat waist, front rise, inseam and leg opening against a pair you already own. The archive includes both current and sold examples, so the page is intended as a fit and measurement reference rather than only a shop listing.
