Cómodos y tallan bien

a year ago
Buen pantalón, muy cómodo y se ajusta bien según la talla habitual que uso con Levis, la 34 en mi caso. Me gusta que es un poquito más largo que los habituales shorts. Bolsillos grandes y vistosos, me gustan.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great fit

Great fit, buttons on side pockets can be hard to open, but only one of two buttons is needed to get stuff in and out of the side pockets.

Le short que je recherchais pour l´été

a month ago
Un très bon short, beau, efficace, tout ce qu´il faut pour un habit simple à mettre plusieurs fois dans la semaine. Les poches auraient pu être un petit peu plus profondes, et je trouve toujours la taille un peu serrée (alors que j´ai pris un 36), mais je suis globalement très satisfait.

Toffe tijdloze broek.

7 months ago
Een broek waarin ik een heel jaar kan lopen. Ik kocht maat 38 en die zit tamelijk ruim; ik weet dat 36 in de taille krap zit dus een maat 37 zou wellicht voor deze patronen een uitkomst zijn. Ik kan ook gaan lijnen natuurlijk. Denk wel dat ik ook nog een 36 bijbestel

Versatile and comfortable cargo shorts.

These Levi’s 478 Baggy Cargo shorts are versatile, comfortable and stylish. They work well for a casual outing paired with a T-shirt (as pictured) or could be dressed up with a polo or button up for a night in the town.

Beautiful

Everything is fine from a sytle point of view,the length is normal but we could add a trace of cream or navy blue color for those who like the contrast to the pockets in the knees

Buen corte, algo justo en la talla

a year ago
Es un buen pantalón, un poco más largo que los shorts habituales, buen corte y bolsillos grandes como me gustan. La parte que menos me gusta es la talla, a pesar de haber comprado otro similar, mismo modelo en otro color, este pantalón me queda más ajustado, aceptable pero no me queda igual de bien en cintura. En definitiva buen Baggy

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great shorts! They were my favorite shorts to wear for a while after a few washes, they began to turn orange. It’s quite upsetting, but I will move on.

Great Look, Just too tight

a year ago
I love the quality of the shorts and the general fit of it. Since it’s men’s shorts I expected the fit to be more boxy but it holds my curves in quite well. Almost a little too well. I ordered the size i normally get in Levi’s but the fit is way too tight. For now i’ll try different methods to stretch it out more but it’s more of a standing pants for me right now.

NO COMPREIS

a month ago
NO COMPREIS. TE ENVIAN LOS PANTALONES SIN EL LOGO LEVI´S Y NO TE DAN NINGUNA SOLUCION TE DICEN QUE ALGUNOS DE SUS PRODUCTOS SE ENVIAN SIN EL LOGO LEVI`S. NI EN LAS FOTOS NI EN LA PAGINA DE PRODUCTO AVISAN DE QUE TE LLEGAN SIN EL LOGO. ENGAÑO. ATENCION AL CLIENTE PESIMA RUBEN NO RECOMIENDO NADA!!!! DO NOT BUY. They send you Levi's jeans without the iconic Levi's logo and then refuse to offer any solution. They simply tell you that some of their products are shipped without the Levi's logo. Nowhere on the product page or in the product photos do they warn you that you may receive jeans without the logo. This is misleading. Terrible customer service and a very disappointing experience. I do not recommend buying from them.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Sucks

a year ago
These shorts look great from the front, but the back pockets are on the sides rather than the front. It makes the fabric at the back of the shorts caress my butt and sort of sag. I’ve never had this problem with pants or shorts before so I stupidly took off the tags before I noticed and now I can’t return them.
