501 men’s denim shorts
a month ago
I recently bought 2 pairs of 501 denim shorts, light and navy blue. I have had these shorts previously and was pleased to see how they have changed with the fashion trends. As always the shorts fit perfectly and last much loner than cheaper brands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for smart yet informal everyday wear.

501 Levi's shorts are perfect.

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.
