zu flache Hosentaschen

6 days ago
Leider deutlich kleinere Hosentaschen vorne als die entsprechenden "Männer-Modelle", sodass es schwierig ist, das Smartphone vorne in der Tasche so zu platzieren, dass man damit noch gut Fahrradfahren kann, ansonsten aber schöne und bequeme Jeans-Shorts.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Finally found my favorite pairs of short jeans. I had purchased many years ago a pair but never found them again. They’re the right length with just the right amount of stretch.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Super comfy, great quality

This is my second pair of 501 mid thigh shorts and I love them. The style is great, as the length is perfect. The quality of levi's is always spot on and same goes for these shorts. It's a button up fly but makes no difference and you get used to it quickly. love these!

good fit + great weight = shorts you never takeoff

Perfect shorts. The lightweight fabric is ideal for hot summer days, and thick enough to wear through cool evenings. I went on a weekend trip and almost never took them off. They were comfortable in the car journey and for all the walking and relaxing activities.

Yes, I recommend this product.
