FAQs

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

These shorts are made from 100% cotton denim.

How should I wash my 501 Original Shorts?

Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry.

Yes, some natural shrinkage can occur, particularly after the first few washes. It's recommended to follow care instructions and consider this when choosing your size.

What is the fit like?

The 501 Original Shorts have a classic, comfortable fit that sits at the waist and is designed to flatter the legs. They are a shorter version of the iconic 501 jeans.

Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?

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.
