Button fly a non-starter...

a month ago
After buying online, didn't even try them on. I didn't realize they were button fly. For a man my age that's a big NO.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Lower-Tier Quality

2 years ago
Weirdly, these jeans have a Levi's label made from brown card stock paper instead of leather. They are much smaller than the supposed 34-inch waist Levi's shorts I bought previously (a different style). Unlike all the other discounted Levi's items I have purchased online, this one was unexpectedly marked final store. I brought them to my local store to show them the curious cardboard/paper label, and the cashier told me this meant item was of Levi's lower quality tier.

Couldn't tell these shorts had a button fly instead of zipper which isn't very functional. Returned them.

I've been hoodwinked.

The valley life shorts seem to be used; the stitching looks terrible, and at first glance I think there knock-offs.

No, I do not recommend this product.

501 BUTTON FLY

These jean shorts have a button fly. No where does it mention a button fly. Returned them for this reason.
