Yes please

High-quality men’s shorts made from durable fabric with tidy stitching. The fit is comfortable and true to size, maintaining shape well and resisting fading after washing. Ideal for everyday use.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Try on before buying

6 months ago
Nice shorts but must be tried on before buying. They are at least a size small. I normally wear W36 but I needed a W38 (and I haven't put on weight!). If Levi's wants more online buyers, it really needs better standardisation of sizing.

Great beige shorts!

I loved the shorts, but came up a bit smaller than other Levi items. Great length though, and the perfect colour!

Hi, Loyal Levi’s Fan! Thanks so much for reaching out. Sometimes, something as small as a difference in fabric treatment, finishing, or fabric composition can affect the way something looks, fits, and feels! The same is true for photos — we try to represent the true color as faithfully as possible, but sometimes slight changes in light can make a big difference! We're always working to make our products as consistent as possible and represent them as faithfully as possible, so we'll flag this one. So you know, we have a 30 day exchange policy where you can exchange your item(s) for a different size, free of charge**. Please visit our Help Center for more information if you have any more questions. Free shipping and Returns for Red TabTM Members.

Love Levi’s but the sizing is all over the place. Now I’m stuck with 3 pairs of shorts that will never fit. 2 sizes too small.
