Short très sympa au look western/destroy & vintage

a year ago
Short très sympa avec une belle broderie adaptée de la même veste Trucker standard assortie (voir photo) et de la chemisette relaxed fit à la couleur plus foncée. Un modèle de short usé de type western au look destroy vieilli et vintage ! Il se mariera parfaitement avec une chemisette de type western relaxed, manches courte standard ou camp ! La taille à choisir est la même que celle de votre 501 habituel car ce modèle n'est pas stretch ! Les broderies à l'arrière et sur la poche peuvent rester totalement discrètes si elles sont recouvertes d'un simple t-shirt ou d'une chemise ! Vous pourrez donc porter ce short comme bon vous semble !

Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads up about these awesome Authentic Shorts I recently got. Let me tell you, they are even better in person than what the marketing photos show. First off, the fit is spot on for a casual look. Not too tight, not too loose. Just right. And the detailing on these bad boys is on point. It adds a little something extra to the overall look, which I love. So if you're in the market for some smart and casual shorts, these are definitely worth checking out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Happy shopping!

As good as 501 jeans, without the shrink to fit. They fit like 501 jeans. I feel like I have the jeans on, but I don't. Good job Levis.

No, I do not recommend this product.

SPRING IS ALSMOST HERE.....

I ordered multi shorts for the summer. Usually I go to the mall to tey them on, because sometimes the sizes are off. But this time, all my orders were a perfect size.

Denim not corduroy

a year ago
These shorts are black denim and not corduroy. That's a good thing as far as I am concerned. They were denim in the pictures, so I ordered them with 🤞 and was happy. But the name is misleading.

Parfait pour cet été

Ce short est très confortable. Après plusieurs lavages il n'a pas bougé. Il est épais et qualitatif. J'avais peur pour la coupe mais elle est moderne et bien taillée. Le short taille correctement. J'ai pris la taille habituelle de mes shorts.
