FAQs
What material are the Levi's 501 Original Shorts made of?

How do I care for the denim to ensure longevity?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear them for short periods initially, and wash them once or twice according to care instructions. The denim will soften with wear and washing.
Sizing seems off
Consult the Levi's size chart for accurate measurements. Note that denim can have slight variations, and the 501 fit is designed to mold to your body over time.
Color transfer (dye bleeding)
Wash with like colors only, especially during the first few washes. Avoid contact with light-colored surfaces or upholstery until the dye has stabilized.
