FAQs
Are these shorts stretchy?
These are made from 100% cotton, so they do not have the high elasticity of spandex-blend denim, providing a more structured, classic feel.
How should I wash them?
We recommend washing them inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle and hanging them to air dry.
Do they run true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but because they are 100% cotton, they do not stretch as much as modern stretch-denim; ensure you check your waist measurement.
Is the destruction likely to rip further?
The light destruction is reinforced, but to minimize further tearing, avoid pulling on the frayed threads and wash inside out.
Can I iron these shorts?
Yes, you can iron them on a cotton setting, but avoid ironing directly over the distressed or frayed areas.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff initially
Cotton denim softens significantly after the first few wears and washes. Wear them to help the fabric break in.
The raw hem is fraying too much
Use sharp fabric scissors to carefully trim any excessively long threads that detach from the chewed hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Levi's 501s looking their best, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Wash inside out with like colours using a gentle cycle and cold water to preserve the denim integrity and the distressed features.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to prevent shrinkage and to keep the fabric fibers strong. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
- Storage: Fold or hang your shorts in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
- Compatibility: These shorts run true to the classic 501 sizing; consider your preferred waist measurements when selecting your size to ensure the best high-rise fit.
