When buying 501s, expect to go up at least two to three sizes from your regular waist. For a boyfriend fit, go closer to four sizes Also, note that fit can vary slightly by decade. Levi's has a pretty comprehensive guide, but basically: The older the pair, the more high-waisted and stiff they'll be.
