Great Levi's shorts

a month ago

501s are great during the winter but they're even better during the summer when they're cut off and have a seam in them. They fit wonderfully. And the comfort is great. I love the fact that they are seemed on the legs because that way I can wear them at work.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Review title: Classic style, lightweight feel

5 months ago

[Employee of levis] Love these 501s! The lightweight denim feels comfortable and breathable, perfect for warmer weather. The classic straight fit looks timeless and works with everything. Fits true to size and keeps its shape well. A great everyday option.
