FAQs

What is the primary material of these shorts?

The Levi's 501 High Rise Denim Shorts are primarily made of 100% cotton denim, with a small inclusion of 1% elastane for a slight give.

How should I wash these denim shorts?

It is recommended to machine wash them cold, inside out, with like colors on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Are these shorts stretchy?

No, these shorts are crafted from non-stretch denim, designed to offer a classic, durable fit that breaks in over time.

What does 'high rise' mean for these shorts?

High rise indicates that the waistband sits at your natural waistline, providing a flattering and secure fit.

What is the benefit of sustainably dyed fabric?

Sustainably dyed fabric means that the dyeing process used is more environmentally friendly, reducing water usage and chemical impact compared to conventional methods.

How do I care for the distressed hem?

The distressed hem is designed to fray slightly over time. Care involves washing as recommended and being mindful that some fraying is intentional. Excessive fraying can be trimmed carefully.

What is the fit like through the hip and thigh?

These shorts are designed to be fitted through the hip and thigh, offering a silhouette that is tailored and flattering.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight initially.

The 100% cotton denim is non-stretch and designed to mold to your body over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Avoid excessive washing to maintain the original fit and structure.

Color fading unevenly.

Wash inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents. Air drying can also help maintain color vibrancy longer than machine drying.

Distressed hem fraying excessively.

Minor fraying is part of the design. If it becomes too pronounced, you can carefully trim loose threads or consider a professional tailoring service for reinforcement.
