- ***When researching the official leg opening size, I found conflicting information for the 505 jeans. Some online sites listed the leg opening as 16", some listed it at 16.5". In the video, I just tried to give you a visual of how my 505 jeans measured.

The difference between the Levi’s 501 and 505 jeans is the 505 jeans have a more relaxed fit through the thighs in comparison to the 501 jeans. Both styles have a straight cut below the knee, meaning that the fit below the knee for these jeans will be very similar. Expect the 501 jeans to show a bit more shape through the hips and thighs than the 505 jeans.
Excellent video. I have been trying to tell people that 501 and 505 are differently cut. 501 does indeed feel a tighter cut
your voice sounds just like Mr.Nightmare, you have the perfect voice for narrating spooky stories! also thank you for the review
you know what, I'll take the compliment! Thanks
He really does
The Levis 501 and 505 were both worn by the U.S. Navy SEAL during the Vietnam War and became a popular "standard" pants for them in field operations.
As a retail worker at a Levi's, I must say I wish all our shoppers could see this video!
Lol good comment man!
Yeah I can see how it can confuse a lot of people!
Also any idea why Levi's sent me a 2015 raw denim jacket? I bought one last year with a 2018 tag and it had two tone stitching. This new one they sent me looks cheaper and is made in china. How do I get the other jacket from the other factory?
@@stylewithaltitude honestly no clue, I spent the last year trying to figure out their shipping; my guess is that after a couple of years they reassign serial numbers to similar pieces of clothing, like the code to the older jacket becomes the code to a new model of jacket. It’s pretty BS honestly
@@TheShannonagains It is bs honestly, I thought I was getting the same jacket from before.
This other jacket cuts corners and also doesnt look as good without the extra touch of detail.
Straight to the point no dragged on video gotta love it man and thanks for the info btw !!
Thanks!
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.
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.
I know right? I have always been 32L and when I recently went to buy some new 505’s I’m now a 30L. The 32L were way too long. When I compare my new 30L to my old 32L side by side the 30L is an inch longer than the 32L! How does that make any sense!? What also makes no sense is I have a 34” waist but 34W is way too wide. I think they do that as an illusion so people think they are less fat than they really are so they keep buying their clothes.
Bought a pair of 505 three months ago. They have changed the back pocket to a shallower design , and every time I have worn them my wallets has come out, in car seats, bleacher seats, boat seats. I won't carry my wallet in a front pocket, SO...off to the Goodwill with these and back to Wranglers for me
I prefer 501 for going out and 505 for just relaxing.
501 are the perfect jeans
Exactly.
Levi's 501 the best jeans for ever..
Except for the stupid button fly
@@CapFlipGamingthats part of the reason why they are so comfy and sit so well tho
@@Manuel-kx4qtlol that is false having a button fly or zip up have nothing to do if the jean fits nice and comfortable to you, you just prefer the fitting and comfort of the 501 jeans vs I think they feel uncomfortable even tho I been wearing them for years I go with stretch Levi’s now every time I see them
The two things, I don't like about the Levi's 505 are the front area fits too tight or snug around the correct waist size. Also the leg openings are too wide. Which makes it have a flared boot cut look👖 👢😒
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.
@@dadancarambolo1637 the colombians are pretty good too
They're not 501's or they're fake 501's. The original 501's are the only Levi's still made in the USA and that's why they're more expensive than other Levi's lines, such as 502's, 505's, 511's, etc. made in other countries with cheap labor.
@@MPerry-ox9qb so all the 501s at Dillards, Macy's, JCP, Kohls, Dicks Sporting Goods, Academy, Stag Provisions, are fake?
@@MPerry-ox9qb and all the 501s that Levis sells on their site not made in USA, those are fake too?
@@bloatedsodium7301 may bad. They were up until Sept 2019. This is new to me. They ere made in Greensboro, NC at the White Oak denim mill.
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.
What is the difference between Levis 505 and Levis 502 regular taper?
@@Quemevestgusto
I do not know, I have never had a pair of 502s.
Costco just put out 505’s. That should pretty much tell you all you need to know if you’re an older dude that doesn’t want skinny jeans! Lol
Viva Costco, appreciate them lookin’ out for us “dad bods”. lol
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.
The 505 jeans are more comfortable and I like the zipper fly
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
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.
Could you maybe do a video on different rises? I’m a young guy and mostly wear low rise since thats the style.
Yes we will put it down on the list
I have a 505 34/29 they fit just the way I want if I get a 501 34/29 should it fit relatively the same?!
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
All 501's used to have five buttons. I stopped buying STF because you couldn't get a longer inseam than 36" which would shrink down to 33"- too short. So I started buying rinsed 501's with a 34" inseam. All had five buttons.
@@scarharting5577 too bad they aren’t still made like they were
Excellent work man 👌👌👌
What is the difference between Levis 505 and Levis 502 regular taper?
Do you know the difference between 751 and the 501 or the 505 ?
Levi's Jeans 514 is actually tighter than 505, but you described the other way round in your website: totally misleading the consumers like me.
I confirmed this after buying 514 (based on your opinion) and measuring it against my old 505. This fact is confirmed by the facts posted on Levi's website.
I want to ask how much the levis 505 budget is
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!
I appreciate that!
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
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.
Good review Bro n I got both..!!
Now in 2024, Levi's launch loose jeans for man n woman. So, the style goes to bigger jeans. Start from regular, slim, skinny n now loose, baggy n super baggy. With climate change n getting hot, loose n baggy jeans is s good choice to adapt heat wave specially in equator country. Levi's think quite fast..!!
I wish they would just make a 501 with a zip.
Thanks for the info bro. V helpful. Future buy I'll get both.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you- you are a gentleman.
You are very welcome
what are those angles bro doesn't your camera have a timer?
Good information 👍
I bought 505s ...two of them
Is there a difference in the frontal and back rise?
Where’s I can get it in Vietnam
¡Olvidaste decir una cosa: los 501 son de tiro mas corto que el 505!
I ended up buying 501’s because the 505’s in my waist size i could not get up over my thighs.
A love you 505
The button fly is impossible to undo
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.
Depends, you can get them with stretch material and also 100% cotton
What pair would be better for a slim person?? 501 or 505 straight leg?
what fit do you want
Between these two straight fit jeans, 501 is the slimmer cut. But Levi has a large selection of slim options available, including 511, 512, 513, 527 and others.
501 for the win!
Not if you have athletic build and big thighs. 505 dont feel Iike my junk is a choke hold.
Nice
