FAQs
What does 'Ribcage' refer to in the name?
'Ribcage' refers to the high rise of the shorts, designed to sit at your natural waistline.
How do I know if I need a different size?
Since the shorts are 100% cotton and have no stretch, consider sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly looser fit, especially considering potential shrinkage after washing.
Can the raw hem be altered?
Yes, the raw hem can be cut to a desired length. Be aware that further fraying will occur naturally unless the new hem is stitched.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
While denim can be warm, these shorts are a standard weight and suitable for general warm weather. For extreme heat, the breathability of cotton is a plus, but the thickness of the denim may still feel warm.
How do I care for the Levi's branded patch?
The branded patch is typically made of faux leather or paper. Avoid excessive soaking or harsh scrubbing on the patch itself. Follow the general care instructions for the shorts.
What kind of tops pair well with these shorts?
These shorts pair well with a variety of casual tops, including t-shirts, tank tops, blouses, and lightweight sweaters. They can be dressed up or down depending on the accompanying items.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight after washing
100% cotton denim can shrink. If the shorts feel too tight, try gently stretching the waistband while damp. Avoid high heat drying in the future. If they are significantly smaller, consider air drying.
Raw hem is fraying excessively
Some fraying is normal for a raw hem. If excessive fraying occurs, you can reinforce the stitching at the desired hem length or consider professional hemming.
Color fading quickly
Wash the shorts inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as this can accelerate fading. Consider using a color-catch sheet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts require no setup as they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most casual tops and footwear. For care, it is essential to refer to the specific instructions on the product label.

Iron on a low setting if necessary.
