FAQs

How do I determine my correct size in these shorts?

Refer to the Levi's® size chart provided with the product listing. Since these are non-stretch denim, it's important to measure your waist and hips accurately and consider trying them on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit through the hip and thigh.

Will these shorts stretch out significantly?

The 100% cotton denim will stretch slightly to conform to your body's shape over time, typically about half an inch to an inch in the waist and hips. However, they are designed to maintain their overall shape and will not stretch out excessively like elastane-blend fabrics.

How should I care for the denim to maintain its look?

For best results and to preserve the denim's color and feel, wash them infrequently in cold water, inside-out, with similar colors. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What makes the 501® style unique?

The 501® is Levi's® original. It's characterized by its straight fit, button fly, and durable denim construction. The high-rise version offers a modern take on this iconic silhouette.

Can these shorts be worn for activities other than casual wear?

While designed primarily for casual wear, their durable construction makes them suitable for light activities. However, for very strenuous activities, consider comfort and potential wear on the fabric.

What is the rise measurement for these shorts?

These are high-rise shorts, meaning they are designed to sit at or above your natural waistline. Specific rise measurements can vary slightly by size but are generally in the 10-11 inch range for women's styles.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight initially

The 100% cotton non-stretch denim will loosen up with wear. Try wearing them for short periods at home to break them in. Ensure you have consulted the size guide and tried them on properly before committing to wear.

Color fading unevenly

This is a characteristic of authentic denim. To minimize rapid fading, wash infrequently, inside-out, in cold water, and avoid bleach. Consider air-drying.

Button fly is difficult to fasten

Button flies can be stiff initially. Ensure all buttons are fully unfastened before attempting to fasten. With repeated use and wear, the buttons and buttonholes will become more pliable.
