My Levi’s jeans guide.

I love that they are so versatile that you can go up or down a size, depending on the fit you want.

/ I love my Levi’s jeans. A classic that has much history; the first ‘real’ jeans. I have 3 pairs – all in the model 501. The only difference between them is that one pair is cut-offs so they have become shorts and otherwise it is only the size that is different. I love that they are so versatile that you can simple go up or down a size, depending on the fit you want. I like the light blue wash the most (clearly). Again, I just think it’s the most classic color and they fit everything I have in my closet. I dont know all Levi’s models, but there are MANY. You can check them out HERE if you want.

Jeg elsker mine Levi’s jeans. En klassiker der har så meget historie i sig; de første rigtige jeans. Jeg har selv 3 par – allesammen i modellen 501. Den eneste forskel der er på de 3 er, at det ene par er afklippede så de er blevet til shorts og ellers er det faktisk kun størrelsen der er forskellig. Det synes jeg er ret fedt, at deres bukser er så alsidige, at man bare kan gå en størrelse op eller ned, alt efter hvilket fit man ønsker. Jeg kan bedst lide den lyse vask (som det tydeligt fremgår). Igen synes jeg bare det er den mest klassiske farve, og de passer til alt jeg har i mit skab. Jeg kender ikke alle Levi’s modellerne, men der er MANGE. Du kan tjekke dem ud her, hvis du har lyst.

Vintage Levi’s 501. I bought these jeans directly from a vintage store via Asos Marketplace – see the current selection of this model HERE. It was a very good experience and it was easy to find the right size. The seller had made a very detailed guide and she also secured before sending me the jeans, that I was sure it was the right size I had chosen. I was offered to send them my waist measurement so that they could find the perfect pair. I think the model is what Levi’s today has named “501 Vintage Skinny Altered” – click HERE to see them. Because my jeans are vintage they have been re-done in the shop (they have become more skinny) and I have even taken them a bit more in myself to make them even more fitted than they were when I received them. If you dont mind putting in some work yourself, I can highly recommend this. Also, the vintage models are a lot cheaper than the jeans you buy new. And seriously, I dont think these jeans will EVER break! They are made in a completely different quality of denim than much of the denim that is made today, which is both super stretchy and thin. But that’s a matter of personal taste. For example, my black skinny jeans are made in the before mentioned thin stretchable material and I like that for that kind of pants.

Vintage Levi’s 501. Disse jeans har jeg købt direkte fra en vintage butik via Asos Marketplace – se det nuværende udvalg af denne model HER. Det var en super god oplevelse, og det var nemt at finde den rigtige størrelse. Sælgeren havde lavet en ret udførlig guide, og hun sikrede sig også inden hun sendte mig dem, at jeg var helt sikker på det var den rigtige størrelse jeg havde valgt. Jeg blev tilbudt, at sende dem mit taljemål, sådan at de kunne finde det helt perfekte par. Jeg vil tro at modellen er det, som Levi’s i dag har navngivet “501 Vintage Skinny Altered” – klik HER for at se dem. Eftersom mine er vintage er de blevet omsyet (de er blevet mere skinny), og jeg har også selv haft dem en tur igennem symaskinen, for at gøre dem endnu mere fitted end de var da jeg modtog dem. Har man mod på dette, så kan det klart anbefales. Desuden er vintage modellerne jo også en del billigere end de jeans du køber fra ny. Og seriøst, jeg tror ALDRIG de jeans jeg har går i stykker. De er lavet i en helt, helt anden kvalitet denim end meget af det denim der laves i dag, der både er super strækbart og tyndt. Men det er jo en smagssag. Mine sorte skinny jeans er fx lavet i det førnævnte tynde, strækbare materiale og det kan jeg godt lide til den type bukser.

Vintage Levi’s 501 shorts. These shorts are also bought at Asos Marketplace – see the current selection HERE. And if you are more in for a pair of brand new ones, you can check the selection HERE. I typically use these shorts at home, when I go on the beach, for a festival or on vacation. I dont use them at work or the like – they are a little too short and casual for that, I think. 

Vintage Levi’s 501 shorts. Disse shorts er også købt på Asos Marketplace – se det nuværende udvalg HER. Og er du mere til et par spritnye kan du tjekke udvalget HER. Jeg bruger  typisk disse shorts hjemme, når jeg skal på stranden, til festival eller er på ferie. Jeg bruger dem ikke på arbejde eller lignende – synes de er lige til den korte side til dét.

Levi’s 501 Skinny. I bought these jeans in the Levi’s shop at Union Square when I was in San Francisco back in May. You can find them HERE. I’ve bought my 1-2 numbers ‘too big’ so I get that laid back, boyfriend fit. The cool thing about this model is that you can go 1-2 sizes down, and then you get a nice slim pair of jeans. On the other hand, if you go up 1-2 sizes (like I did withthis pair), you get a more relaxed, boyfriend fit. I think it’s super cool that they have made them so versatile! Then you can get the exact fit you want. And I also like that these have the destroyed effects on the legs and the busted knee.

Levi’s 501 Skinny. Disse jeans købte jeg i Levi’s butikken på Union Square da jeg var i San Fransisco tilbage i maj. Du kan finde dem HER. Jeg har købt mine 1-2 numre ‘for store’, sådan at jeg netop får det der afslappede, boyfriend fit. Det fede ved denne model er, at du kan gå 1-2 størrelser ned, så får du en fin slim buks. Går du 1-2 størrelser op (som jeg) får du en mere afslappet buks. Jeg synes det er super fedt, at man har lavet dem så alsidige! Så kan man få lige præcis det fit man gerne vil have. Og så kan jeg også godt lide, at disse har lidt mere slid på benene og hullet på knæet.

      Ja, altså dem med stræk i gør jo helt af sig selv, men også dem i 100% bomuld uden stræk vil give sig lidt i starten. 🙂
