Perfection. Love these shorts, tired over 15 pairs befor Levis and these are spot on. Great denim, nice weight- substantial but not too heavy, beautiful wash. Sized up so I can
wear these low and relaxed. Already living in these these. Dress them up and down. Haven't washed them yet but they do stretch out which is nice, don't want something too
rigid.

Exactly what I was looking for - not too short

Perfect for the beach and warmer weather.. These were not too short or too long and they were not too tight around the leg. The high waist is what I want. I liked the
unravelled edges - it was not too ragged but just getting started which worked for me. I love the way the 33 fit me which is my normal size but I want a loose more
comfortable pair so I am getting the larger 34s ALSO... I will wear them around the house and garden for hanging out. I am 5'7 and weigh 165 for a guideline with straight hips
and butt.

I have a larger butt and thighs but a smaller waist so I don’t really ever find jeans that fit me and don’t give me chafing or are just too hard to move around in. These actually work for my very curvy body and sensitive inner thighs. These run a little small so I went with size 12. In the black they’re very snug but in the regular denim color they’re looser. They definitely take a little breaking in so I am trying to wear them to loosen the up around my thighs.One piece of feedback for Levi. I really love the ability to choose how to destroy my own pants lol. Cut offs are fine but making them have a weird hole on one side just looks weird and not that cool. I work outside and I can ruin my own clothes. I super love how the regular denim is seamed and then if you ...

These are great shorts that are on the longer side and cover everything. I was on the search for shorts that were long enough to prevent chaffing, but not too long that they were bermuda length, and I am very with these.I will worn you that these wear exactly like Levi jeans aka they are the thick, no give jean material. I had recently tried on Levi shorts at Kohl’s and found their version of Levi’s to be extra stretchy. That is definitely NOT the case as ordering the same shorts from Levi’s themselves. I typically wear a size 12 in pants and ordered a size 31 in these shorts. They ended up being too tight in the thighs and were uncomfortable to breathe in. I exchanged them for a size 32 and am much happier with the fit. They still feel a little snug across the ... MoreThese are great shorts that are on the longer side and cover everything.

I exchanged them for a size 32 and am much happier with the fit. They still feel a little snug across the stomach, but I think that’s because of the 5 buttons instead of a zipper. I thought about ordering another size up to compare, but I think that would make the waist band too big.Long story short, I recommend sizing up if you have thicker thighs or are looking for shorts to not hug your thighs when you sit down in them. Other than the struggle with finding a good size, these are great quality shorts!

I was sent the wrong shorts
25 July 2024
The item I received was not "mid rise", the inseam is way too short. It has a button closure, not a zipper. It was a light wash instead of tinted denim. These were distressed style and not like the picture at all. Additionally, the tags were clearly tampered with upon delivery to remove the item name (see photos). I was really excited to get an oversized comfy go-to pair of shorts for the summer and this was not it. I'm very disappointed especially since this was full priced at $70.

NO DELIVERY. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PAIR OF JEANS AND 2 PAIR OF SHORTS I ORDERED. BUT OF COURSE THE MONEY WAS TAKEN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT. WHERE IS MY STUFF, LEVI'S?????? And, I have read SO MANY REVIEWS saying the same thing--that their orders are not coming!!! I can't even find these shorts at a different store, or you bet your rear end that I'd be buying them elsewhere. COME ON AND GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, MY GOSH--AND YES I AM SCREAMING ALL OF THIS IN CAPS.

It looks good and fits well, albeit with the inevitable gapping at the waist which plagues all women's pants/shorts; but has already begun to fray, straight out of the bag. Pictures show its state after first wash, never worn, which is pretty comparable to the state it was in when it showed up. It's not so egregious that I don't want to keep them, but if I hadn't bought these on sale I would not consider the price tag worth it. Rather disappointed at the lack in quality from such an established brand.

17 August 2023
I ordered the black ones and one leg is smaller than the other. They’re so uncomfortable. I tried breaking them in but I think it’s just not sewn correctly. Also the cut off they made is really silly. It’s like a square of fabric worn off that makes it look like you made your cutoffs with a machete. My friends have asked a few times if I cut them myself and I have to explain that they came like this and they agree it looks very odd. I have the same pair in blue and I love them! But unfortunately the black ones are really not worth the buy.

Got these shorts in the medium wash, normally purchase a size 29 in their jeans, but the 29 in these shorts was way too big. They fit like a pair of mens jeans, HUGE around the waist. Aside from the poor fit, they also came with splotchy looking dye. I was really hoping that the dye would even out in the wash/ they would shrink a bit but it never did. Now I'm left with cheap looking shorts that are massive on me.
