| Selvedge 501tm 90s Jean Fit: Straight Leg, Mid Rise: Choose this if you want a vintage-inspired straight jean with a mid rise (10.5 inches) and a loose, baggy fit through the hip and thigh—Levi's suggests sizing down one for a slimmer fit or the 501 Original for less looseness. It is made of 100% cotton selvedge denim that Levi's says is shuttle-loom woven for a tighter weave and extra durability, with a button fly, 32-inch inseam, 16.5-inch leg opening (size 27 waist basis), and an unsewn turn-up, in a dark Navy/Midnight Blue wash in sizes 24 to 30.[1,2,3] | 94' Ultra-Loose Jean: Choose this if you want a true loose straight-leg jean, relaxed at the hips and thighs, with a regular 10-inch rise, a 30.5-inch inseam, a zip fly, and thick 100% cotton denim. Review-based feedback describes a true-to-size loose fit that works without tailoring—especially for those needing roughly a 31-inch inseam—and lasting comfort for long days; sizing is preference-driven, so size up for a bigger, looser look or order true to size for a more fitted one. Be aware one reviewer found the waist a hair loose at their usual adjusted size, with about a half-inch more give at the waist by evening.[4,5,6] | Dad Relaxed Barrel-Leg Jean: Choose this if you want a relaxed barrel-leg dad jean in thick 100% cotton denim, with a 10 inch rise, 29.5 inch inseam, five-pocket styling, and a zip fly with a metal top button. The barrel cut is a bold, polarizing silhouette rather than a conventionally flattering one, though one commenter found this pair less extreme than some earlier barrel styles. Fit feedback is mixed: a size 25 try-on found them a bit snug on the hip and thigh but flattering, while size 26 was more comfortable but gapped at the waist, and reviewers have reported ripping in the black colorway of Levi's Dad jeans.[7,8,9,10,11] |
