How should I care for my Levi's 501 Original Shorts?
Always refer to the care label. Generally, wash inside out in cold water with like colors and air dry or tumble dry on low heat to minimize shrinkage and preserve color.

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight initially
This is normal for rigid denim. Wear them for extended periods; they will gradually conform to your body. Avoid excessive washing in hot water.
Color fading unevenly
Wash inside out with similar colors in cold water. Consider washing less frequently, only when necessary, to preserve original color.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are using cold water for washing and air drying or tumble drying on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat drying methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts require no setup as they are ready to wear. Compatibility is primarily with adult male sizing and regular fit preferences. For care, it is crucial to refer to the specific instructions on the product label. Generally, to maintain the integrity and color of the denim:
- Washing: Wash inside out with like colors. Use cold water to minimize shrinkage and color fading.
- Detergent: Opt for a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to prevent damage and shrinkage. Avoid high heat.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a medium setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp or inside out.
Due to the rigid denim nature, expect the shorts to loosen slightly with wear and washing, conforming to your body shape without significant stretching.
