501 original hemmed 9" mens' shorts, black
4 years ago
Wore this straight out of the shipping bag. Snug waist (didn't need a belt for once), hemmed cuffs came down just below my kneecaps, moved well, didn't bind when stretching or bending. I am going to be wearing this with the aforementioned Gothic Biker Vest (big trucker jacket) from my last review. With Tripps chains attached to the belt loops and with fishnets and Doc Martens, an old-school club outfit. Again, THANK YOU for a fine product.

I personally own all three of these 501 Originals and they are a must have addition to your wardrobe. Always in style no matter if you’re going for the modern, classic or relaxed look. These essential Jean Shorts will complete all your outfits with a feel good vibe. You know you are wearing quality denim when you’re wearing Levis! #sweepstakesentry

Finally!

Been wearing 501s since middle school in the 50s. Used to cut 'em off when they started wearing out, and I liked the fringe, but when I got older, hems seemed more appropraite. So when Levis.com let me know I could get 501 shorts, I bought three pairs! I'm delighted.

Try These If You're Female & Wears Men's Clothing
6 years ago
These fit amazing!
I'm writing this review with other women who may wear men's clothing in mind. I'm pretty picky and only like things that are slim fit. Not tight, but not baggy.
I'm 5'7, 135 lbs, and normally wear a 30 waist in the Levi's men's jeans. I got a size 29 in these since shorts normally run baggier, and they fit perfect!! A little snug on the waist, but still comfortable and they look great!
My new favorite shorts.

Black, button fly, dungaree shorts.
2 years ago
They fit perfect. The inseam could be a bit longer for me but they were long enough. I like the button fly. I had been looking for black dungaree shorts for a while and these came along. Was not sure i would like them, but they were very good.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The look and fit are great. My only issue is that I prefer a zipper to metal buttons.
