Excellent quality and good fit.

The denim feels really soft and good quality. They fit really well and are extremely comfortable. The size is as expected and they will look great for casual day wear on holiday.

Comfortable & Cute

a year ago
These shorts are so comfortable! I sized up (which I probably wouldn’t recommend for this kind of style), so they hang off my body a little. I like how easy it is to style these shorts, and they work for so many occasions! I wish the denim was thicker, though. Overall I’m very pleased with these Levi’s. :)

Too tight

4 months ago
They’re fairly comfy but tighter than I’d hoped for. They were soft and looked as described. Just wish I could get the vintage raw denim baggy look with super softness. Maybe I just got the wrong style, it kinda hurt my stomach when I sat down.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Leider konnte ich die Shorts nicht behalten, da sie zu eng war, um sie zuzuknöpfen. Das Material ist butterweich. Ich bin kein Fan von der Fly mit Knöpfen - dauert einfach zu lange zum An- und Ausziehen.

501 mid-thigh jeans shorts

A little too light-weight for me, I prefer a heavier denim. I sized up from 29 to 30 based on the online info which said runs small, I should have stuck with my regular 29 as 30 is big and unflattering.
