501 Levi's shorts are perfect.
2 months ago
I bought these shorts as i had lost a considerable amount of weight. Previous ones were just not comfortable. Button fly shorts/pants are more comfortable than the others. A better fit. I would definitely recommend these.

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.

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.
