About this Style

We've been doing our thing since 1873, so we know a thing or two about making jeans in all their forms—including the first-ever jeans shorts (A.K.A. these). These 501® Original Shorts are a versatile staple that feature a vintage-inspired fit and the button fly you expect from 501® jeans.

Are you a Classic 501's button up, a Must Have

2 months ago

Classic 501's Shorts for Summer is a Must. The fit is great and the look is even more outstanding. Levi's 501's for shorts are a lighter weight but makes you stand out amongst others. 501's always show off your best in areas you want. Enjoy the button fly after a few wears as they will unbutton with a good tug. Have fun this summer for a change, get down to business.
