FAQs

What does 'Flash A Look' refer to?

'Flash A Look' is the specific wash and color designation for this particular pair of Levi's® 501® Original Walkshorts, indicating its unique denim finish.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Levi's® sizing chart, paying attention to the 'waist' measurement for the most accurate fit, as these shorts have a defined high rise and slim fit.

Are these shorts stretchy?

These shorts are made from 100% cotton denim, which does not contain elastane or spandex. They will mold to your body with wear but do not have inherent stretch.

What is the inseam length of these walkshorts?

The Levi's® 501® Original Walkshorts typically have a shorter inseam, designed as a 'walkshort' or shorter cut, often around 3 inches, though this can vary slightly.

Can the frayed hems be altered?

Yes, the frayed hems can be adjusted. You can trim them or have them professionally hemmed to a desired length or style.

What is the significance of the Levi's® tab?

The red Levi's® tab is a brand identifier. There can be variations in its appearance (e.g., color, text), but all signify an authentic Levi's® product.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight after washing.

Cotton denim can shrink slightly. If the shorts feel snug, try gently stretching the waistband or leg openings while damp. Avoid high heat drying in the future.

Frayed hems are unraveling excessively.

If the fraying is more than desired, you can carefully trim loose threads or stitch a small seam along the inside of the hem to prevent further unraveling.

Color is fading unevenly.

Ensure you are washing the shorts inside-out with like colors in cold water. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying.
