FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly based on individual body shape. It is recommended to consult the Levi's size chart and consider trying them on if possible, as the 100% cotton material does not have stretch.

What does 'light destruction' mean on the shorts?

Light destruction refers to subtle distressing, such as small rips, abrasions, or frayed areas, intentionally added to the denim to give it a worn-in, vintage appearance.

How should I care for the chewed hem?

The chewed hem is a design feature. Follow the recommended care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang dry) to maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh brushing or excessive agitation in the wash.

Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?

While designed as a summer staple, they can be styled for cooler weather by layering with tights or leggings underneath and pairing with boots and heavier tops or jackets.

What is the benefit of the high waist?

The high waist is designed to sit at or above the natural waistline, offering a more defined silhouette, comfortable coverage, and a flattering look that pairs well with various top styles.

How do these shorts differ from other Levi's 501 styles?

The 501 Original Shorts are a denim short version of the classic 501 jean. This specific model features a high rise and a 'short' length, distinguishing it from full-length jeans or other short styles.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too stiff initially

100% cotton denim often requires a break-in period. Wear them frequently or wash them once according to care instructions to soften the fabric.

Shrinkage after washing

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Opt for cold water washes and air drying or a low tumble dry setting to minimize shrinkage.

Chewed hem losing its texture

Wash and dry the shorts according to the care instructions, paying attention to gentle cycles. Avoid excessive agitation that could damage the hem.

Fit seems too tight after washing

Cotton denim can contract slightly when wet. Try wearing the shorts while slightly damp to gently stretch them back to their original fit, especially around the waist and thigh.
