FAQs
What does 'Ribcage' mean in relation to these shorts?
'Ribcage' refers to Levi's specific high-waisted fit, designed to sit very high on the waist, often just below the natural waistline, to create a cinched and flattering silhouette.
Are these shorts stretchy?
No, these Ribcage shorts are made from 100% cotton denim, which means they have minimal to no stretch. They will mold to your shape with wear but do not offer elasticity.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Levi's. Given the lack of stretch, consider your waist measurement carefully. If you are between sizes, sizing up might be more comfortable.
Can I alter the length or hem of the shorts?
Yes, the denim can be altered. However, altering the frayed hem might change the intended style. If you wish to shorten them, consider having a professional tailor create a clean hem.
How do I care for the ripped hem?
The ripped hem is a stylistic element and may naturally fray further with washing and wear. Avoid excessive agitation in the wash to prevent premature or uneven fraying.
What is the best way to break in 100% cotton denim shorts?
Wear them frequently! Washing them inside out with cold water and drying them on a low setting or air drying can also help soften the fabric. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with 100% cotton denim. Wear them for extended periods, wash them according to care instructions, and they will soften and conform to your body over time.
Color transfer to other garments.
Wash the shorts separately with like colors, especially for the first few washes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces.
Hem appears to be unraveling excessively.
The frayed hem is a design feature. If excessive unraveling is a concern, you can carefully trim any stray threads or opt for a style with a finished hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts require no setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are designed for women and are compatible with most casual tops and footwear. To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Levi's Ribcage Shorts, please adhere to the following care instructions, which should also be detailed on the product's internal label:
- Washing: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. It is recommended to use a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach. Bleaching agents can damage the denim fibers and affect the color.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results. Excessive heat from a dryer can cause shrinkage and wear.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium setting if necessary, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp, or inside out to protect the exterior finish.
- Color Fastness: The color may transfer to lighter clothing or upholstery. Wash separately until the color has stabilized.
