Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads up about these awesome Authentic Shorts I recently got. Let me tell you, they are even better in person than what the marketing photos show. First off, the fit is spot on for a casual look. Not too tight, not too loose. Just right. And the detailing on these bad boys is on point. It adds a little something extra to the overall look, which I love. So if you're in the market for some smart and casual shorts, these are definitely worth checking out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Happy shopping!

Kauftipp für den Sommer

Schöne Short in gewohnter toller Qualität und Passform. Idealer leichterer Denim für den Sommer! 501 als Shorts genauso cool und genial wie in der langen Version!

Denim not corduroy

These shorts are black denim and not corduroy. That's a good thing as far as I am concerned. They were denim in the pictures, so I ordered them with 🤞 and was happy. But the name is misleading.

Ce short est très confortable. Après plusieurs lavages il n'a pas bougé. Il est épais et qualitatif. J'avais peur pour la coupe mais elle est moderne et bien taillée. Le short taille correctement. J'ai pris la taille habituelle de mes shorts.

Returned as way too small. But otherwise excellent

Returned as way too small. But otherwise excellent. I always wear Levi's, always 36 waist. But 502s and 511s. Brilliant fit. These were a good size smaller, at least.

OK quality, on the small side

8 months ago
It was OK in terms of fit and fabric quality, however the size was too small, you'd need at least one size larger than your usual one.

Qualität die passt

An sich wie von Levi‘s gewohnt eine sehr gute Hose. Mein einziges Problem damit ist, dass der Hosenstall nicht wie gewöhnlich mit Reißverschluss sondern mit Knöpfen zugemacht werden muss.

Men's 501 Nine-Inch Shorts

25 days ago
The shorts were a proper 9 inches long, but the material was too heavy for a hot summer day. The colors for both pair I purchased more muted than planned, and I did not like the button fly at all. Also, they were cut low on the waist and putting your keys and/or wallet in a pocket would have immediately caused risk of plumber's pants. Returned both pair, but kept the seersucker shorts I purchased on the same order.
