Love the some stretch washes they’re more comfortable than the no stretch. I’m 5’8” 145 and usually a size 28 leaning 27. The blank spot wash does run 1-2 sizes small(went with size 29). No referee runs true to size or 1/2 size small(went with 28). Disco nights white runs true to size(went with 28). I do wish they made the high rise 501 shorts in a slightly longer inseam option as well, 3.5 inches would be ideal and a lighter blue wash with a clean sewn hem.

Size up but absolutely love the fit!

a year ago
I’ve been looking for Jean shorts for months now and found these gems online. The Levi’s I own pants are all size 28 so of course I order as such but unfortunately I should have read the reviews further and seen the need to size up 1 or 2 times. I was able to return them in the store. Thankfully, so because although sizing up once for the Midnight Dark wash was sufficient, I had to size up twice for the Disco Nights White to fit the exact same way🙃 5’7 140lbs. I love the fit and look of these classic shorts.

Vintage look and feel.

a year ago
Perfect summer shorts. You can’t go wrong with these if you love a good vintage look. I was surprised at how much stretch the “low stretch” fabric is. I could have sized down but I went with the size 28 that I usually fit in the 501 cropped Jean. They are comfy and cute though. I’ve already got compliments on them. Next time I’ll go with the 27, as they run slightly on the larger size but if you like that fit then definitely go true to size- I don’t mind it because they’re amazing quality and I can tell they will last me forever without budging or losing shape while allowing some wiggle room for weight fluctuations.
