FAQs
What does 'non-stretch' denim mean for the fit?
Non-stretch denim means the fabric does not contain elastane or spandex, offering a more rigid fit that molds to your body over time with wear. It provides durability and a classic denim feel.
How should I determine my correct size?
Consult the Levi's official size chart for the most accurate measurement. Given the non-stretch nature, consider if you prefer a snug or more relaxed fit when choosing your size.
Will these shorts stretch out over time?
While they don't contain stretch fibers, 100% cotton denim will relax and adapt to your body's shape with wear, offering a more personalized fit without losing its overall structure.
How do I care for the chewed hem and distressed areas?
The chewed hem and light destruction are part of the design. To maintain their appearance, wash the shorts inside out in cold water and avoid harsh drying methods. Any excessive fraying can be managed by trimming loose threads.
Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?
These are casual denim shorts with distressed details, making them best suited for informal settings, everyday wear, and relaxed social gatherings.
What is the rise of these shorts?
The Levi's® 501® Original High Rise Jean Shorts feature a high-rise waist, designed to sit comfortably at your natural waistline.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff or tight initially.
This is expected with 100% non-stretch denim. Wear them for extended periods, especially around the house, to help them break in and conform to your body shape.
Inconsistent sizing compared to other jeans.
Refer to the Levi's size chart and consider your preferred fit. Non-stretch denim can fit differently than stretch fabrics. It may be beneficial to try on different sizes if possible.
Hem or destruction details seem to be unraveling excessively.
The chewed hem and light destruction are intentional design elements. If excessive fraying occurs, you can carefully trim loose threads or reinforce them with a few stitches.
Shrinking after washing.
Always wash in cold water and opt for line drying to minimize shrinkage. Avoid high heat in the washing machine or dryer.
