FAQs
What does 'Comfort Stretch' mean for the fit?
Comfort Stretch means the denim includes a small percentage of elastane or similar material, adding a slight stretch for increased comfort and ease of movement compared to 100% cotton rigid denim.
How do I know if I'm buying an original Levi's® product?
Original Levi's® products feature distinct branding, such as the red Levi's® Tab (which can vary in color or text, or even be absent on some original designs) and the trademark arcuate stitching on the back pockets. The product information provided, including brand name and model, also confirms authenticity.
Can these shorts be customized?
Yes, the Levi's® 501 Original Shorts are described as a 'blank canvas for customization and self-expression,' making them ideal for personal modifications like distressing, patches, or hemming.
What is the best way to care for these shorts to maintain their color?
Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Avoid using chlorine bleach. Tumble dry on a medium setting and iron with a warm setting if needed. Washing separately for the first few washes is recommended to prevent color transfer.
What is the difference between these and the 501® jeans?
The 501® Original Shorts are a cropped version of the iconic 501® jeans, offering the same classic straight fit and heritage but in a shorter length suitable for warmer weather.
Are these shorts suitable for all body types?
The original straight fit is designed to be universally flattering, offering a comfortable fit through the seat and thigh. However, individual fit preferences can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff initially.
This is typical for new denim. Wear them regularly, and they will soften over time. Washing them according to care instructions can also help expedite the softening process.
Color transfer to other items.
Wash the shorts separately or with similar dark colors for the first few washes. Avoid contact with light-colored upholstery or surfaces until the color transfer has minimized.
Fit seems inconsistent.
Ensure you are comparing to the same size and model. Slight variations can occur between production runs. Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements.
