Modern Size vs Vintage Size:

Generally - go up 2 sizes from your modern size to find Levi’s that will fit. I have a general size guide below but because all decades fit different taking your actually measurements is best.

• Modern 25 (0) = Vintage 27
• Modern 26 (2) = Vintage 28
• Modern 27 (4) = Vintage 29
• Modern 28 (6) = Vintage 30
• Modern 29 (8) = Vintage 31
• Modern 30 (10) = Vintage 32
• Modern 31 (12) = Vintage 33
• Modern 32 (14) = Vintage 34
• Modern 33 (16)= Vintage 35
• Modern 34 (18) = Vintage 36
• Modern 35 (20) = Vintage 37

Vintage 501’s Typical Fit:

• Sits at true waist (high rise) w/ Button Fly
• Straight fit through thigh & leg opening
• 501s are the perfect go-to jean & can be worn snug for a peaches shaped booty OR loose & boyfriend style. Don’t forget you can always belt them!

How to Size Vintage Levi's:

• Vintage Levi’s were typically purchased 2 sizes bigger than needed to allow for shrinkage in the shrink to fit denim. It is very common for the tag size to be an inch, two inches or even three inches smaller than the listed tag size.  Please ignore all tags and review the listed measurements to find the best fit.

Tips to find your measurements:

• Waist - Measure where you want your pants to sit. This one is very important, as it will be the starting point for selecting vintage denim. For high-rise measure the smallest part of your waist.
• Hip - Measured at widest part, typically near your hip bones and around your booty.
• Rise - Measured from crotch seam to top of the waistband.
•       Low Rise - 6.5-8”
•       Mid Rise - 8.5-9.5”
•       High Rise - 10-12”
• Inseam - Depends on where you would like your jeans to hit at the bottom leg; crop, ankle, top of shoe or floor. Measured from the crotch, along the inner seam down to the bottom of the jeans.

*No two pairs of vintage Levi’s are the same. Each pair, each style, each decade have a unique fit, wash and size for many reasons. Every pair is also unique in its fades, wash, wear and characteristics. Any major wear or flaws will be shown in photos and noted in the description.

*If you don't own a fabric measuring tape, a piece of string and construction measuring tape will do just fine.
