Fit Guide: Levi's 501 vs. Grand Street
If you own a pair of Levi’s 501 straight leg jeans, you should wear the same size in our American made Grand Street slim. However, the fit will be very different. Our jean has a slimmer overall fit with a tapered leg opening. In Levi’s 501 measurements, we find the seat is 2” larger, front rise 1 ½” longer, knee 2” larger and leg opening 2 ½” larger. Both have a 34” waist, which means they will sit at the placement at the waistline but Levi’s crotch will fall lower.
