Levi's 501 Original Short - Denim

The '501' refers to Levi's iconic jean model, and 'Original Short' signifies that these are the denim shorts version of that classic fit, known for their straight leg and button fly.

These shorts are made from 100% cotton, so they do not contain elastane or spandex. They offer a rigid, authentic denim feel rather than stretch.

Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry on medium heat and iron on warm if necessary. Washing inside out can help preserve the fringe.

Sustainably dyed fabrics use processes that reduce water consumption and the use of harsh chemicals, making them a more environmentally friendly choice compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Levi's jeans and shorts can fit differently. It's best to refer to the specific size chart provided by Levi's for the 501 Original Short and consider your preferred fit (e.g., snug or relaxed) when selecting your size.

The fringe hem is a design feature. While it may naturally fray slightly more with wear and washing, you can trim it to your desired length if needed, or wash inside out to control the fraying.

The versatility of the 501 Original Short means they pair well with almost any casual top, from basic t-shirts and tank tops to blouses and button-downs. They also work well with sweaters for transitional weather.

Denim made of 100% cotton typically requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will naturally soften and conform to your body shape. Avoid excessive washing, as this can prolong the stiffness.

If you prefer to maintain the current length of the fringe, you can carefully trim any excessive threads. For future washes, consider turning the shorts inside out to minimize further fraying.

Variations in color can occur due to the sustainable dyeing process and the natural characteristics of denim. This is normal and contributes to the unique look of each pair.

Levi's sizing can differ from other brands. It's recommended to consult the Levi's size chart and consider your preferred fit when ordering. Some customers find sizing up offers a more relaxed feel.
