FAQs

What is the material composition of these shorts?

The shorts are made of 99% Cotton and 1% Elastane, providing durability and a slight stretch.

How should I wash these denim shorts?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry on medium. An optional warm iron can be used.

What does 'high rise' mean for these shorts?

A high rise means the waistband sits at or above your natural waistline, contributing to a vintage-inspired silhouette.

Will the fringe hem fray significantly?

The fringe hem is designed to have a natural, slightly frayed look. It may continue to fray minimally with washing and wear, which is part of the intended style.

Are these shorts suitable for all body types?

The regular fit and high rise are designed to be flattering. However, fit can vary based on individual body shape and preferred comfort level. Checking the size guide is recommended.

Can I wear these shorts for active pursuits?

While comfortable for everyday activities, the pure cotton denim might be restrictive for very high-impact sports. They are best suited for casual wear, light activity, and fashion.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel stiff initially

This is common with pure cotton denim. Wear them frequently or wash them once before extensive use to soften the fabric.

Sizing seems off

Consult the Levi's size chart and compare your measurements to ensure the correct fit. Different washes and styles can have slight variations.

Fringe hem is uneven after washing

The fringe is designed to be natural and may vary. If significant unraveling is a concern, consider a cold wash and line drying.
