For the past 2 summers I have searched high and low for a pair of distressed shorts. I have ordered countless pairs from multiple brand names only to return them because they're too big, or they don't fit right. I gave up thinking I just wasn't meant for these kinds of shorts. I happened to come across these in a search and thought wth, they're 20 bucks, what do I have to lose?... well let me tell you I lost nothing and gained an incredible pair of shorts. These are seriously the Holy grail I've been searching for! I noticed some reviews saying these are fake- the shorts I recieved have a leather patch and the red tag says Levi's, so from everything I've been able to verify, they're legit. Though I do believe Amazon is an "aftermarket" of sorts (a place for companies to sell products that weren't quite right off the assembly line, or returns, or last year's styles, etc.), Levi's marks their products with "irregular" when they aren't right, and these aren't marked, so it might just be overstock or items they need to get rid of. Even if these are fake tho, I don't care. They fit me. Like a glove. And that's all I wanted. As far as sizing... Levi's tends to run big. I purchased a pair of straight leg 501 jeans earlier this year, in my usual size (26), and they were entirely too big (I still have those jeans and I'm selling them at a ridiculously low price on Posh mark if you're interested - closet name - @texas_pistol). I got these shorts in a size 25 and they fit perfectly. I hover between a 25 & 26 depending on the brand, it's nice to know I'm a 25 in Levi's! I got the style 'Sansome Straggler'. They're high waisted, button up, and are 100% cotton so there's little to no stretch whatsoever. I love 100% cotton clothing (cotton used to be queen before we moved to synthetic materials), so I'm not mad at it, but if you're wanting some stretch you might look for a pair that has viscose or elastane in the mix. I encourage everyone to give 100% cotton a try tho (even with your sheets). I actually bought another pair of these in white yesterday, then came back today to get another pair of the "stragglers" just to have as back ups.Y'all, for real, grab these!For reference I'm 5'1, 112 lbs, 34B (33, 26, 38), usual sizes XS-S, 25-26. Hope this helps!!The product is exactly as described and came in the time stated (1 day).Let me just say I never ever write reviews but for these shorts I felt like it was needed. I always have a problem when It comes to denim shorts, I never really spend too much money on denim (which I probably should) so the shorts I get are normally stretchy material. I have a hard time with denim mainly because of my body shape, a lot of items aren’t flattering on me and let me just say these shorts omg!!! Being that they aren’t stretchy they really give me a shape and hold in everything. I’m obsessed and I will be ordering these from now on. Buy them if you’re thinking about it!I love the shorts. With most Levi’s, as I’ve read, you have to size up. I sized up 1 size. I’m usually a size 29/30. And I ordered a 30 and a 31. I fit in both pairs, but the 31 had a little more room that I’m more comfortable in. I still wear both. But the shorts are definitely a 10/10 from me. I recommend if you know you’re size. Definitely size up!Sized down one size as these are a roomier cut & I’m so glad that I did! ?These fit perfectly & stretched enough to fit me (even a bit loose as time goes on bc 501s are known to stretch a size! So sizing down means once worn & stretched out the shorts would still be perfect.) And they are … both sexy and comfortable. Just buy them!?I was nervous ordering these because sizing varied a lot among reviewers. After reading plenty of reviews, I finally decided to order a 31. I am typically a 29 in most brands. In American Eagle I am an 8 and Abercrombie I wear a 29, for reference. However, multiple reviews said to size up one or two sizes. I decided to size two up because I didn’t want them to squeeze my thighs. I am SO glad I did. They are the most flattering jean shorts I have ever tried on. I am so pleased with them! If you get the sizing correct, they are the perfect shorts.I am 5’2”, 30” waist (have a lil belly), 40” hips. Size 29 fits so perfect. I wish every pair of shorts I owned looked and felt this good. If I was rich I would buy 10 more pairsClassic Levi fit. I went up 2 sizes because there’s no stretch and they fit okkkk. A little stretch would’ve made them perfect.The shorts look exactly as they do in the photo, super cute, but zero stretch around the hips.I was excited for these shorts! Unfortunately they were completely fake!! The label on the back as made of paper...not even good fakes lol. I returned them but would warn others to check them over carefully when you get them. Some could be real but mine were definitely not. ??These are great. They're definitely real Levis unlike what other reviews said. They're just their "outlet" store style! I got the black and uploaded a photo with my full price Levis, a pair I got at the Levi's outlet, and then the black pair I ordered off Amazon. You can see they're the same as the outlet pair I got! Quality is great other than the patch is a thicker paper like material versus thick leather. Other difference is the little red tag on the pocket just has an "®" instead of saying LEVI'S. They're great for the price!I originally bought a size 24 in jive stone, the waist fit perfect, but the seam down the middle was a bit tight, so i returned and bought a luxor baked in a size 25. the waist in the 25 is bigger so it fits more mid rise than the smaller pair. the back is super flattering and they fit perfectly. use the size chart in the product description, not the one in the images or they will run big. measurements: waist 25, hips 35, height 5’7/172 cm, weight 118 lbs.These are 100% fake. The material feels cheap and not thick like regular 501s. The tag is suppose to be leather and it is paper. The top are my authentic pair - bottom two (white & jean) I ordered from Amazon. The white are a thicker material but again the same paper tag. Will be returning for refund.These are so cute!!! I sized up from 26 to 27 not sure that was necessary at all. The thigh and butt are flattering , the shorts flare slightly it’s a really flattering cut for thighs and booty. I’ll get a lot of use out of these and my teenage daughter has been eyeing them too- I should hide them in my closet!!
