FAQs
Are these shorts made with stretch denim?
No, the Levi's 501 Original Short is typically constructed from traditional rigid denim for an authentic feel.
How should I wash these to prevent fading?
Always wash in cold water, turn them inside out, and avoid direct sunlight when line drying to maintain the blue tone.
Does this model use a button fly or a zipper?
True to the 501 heritage, these shorts feature the classic button fly closure.
Do these shorts run true to size?
They generally run true to size, but since they lack stretch, it is recommended to ensure your waist measurement is accurate before purchase.
Can I put these in the dryer?
While possible, air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinkage and preserve the integrity of the denim material.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too stiff when new
Wear them regularly for short periods or wash them once inside-out with a mild detergent to soften the denim fibers.
Difficulty buttoning the fly
The button fly is a signature feature; if it feels tight initially, the metal buttons will loosen slightly and become easier to fasten after several uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Levi's 501 Original Shorts last for years, adhere to proper care guidelines. For sizing, always check your specific waist measurements as these shorts provide a structured fit without excessive stretch. For washing, turn the garment inside out to preserve the deep blue colour. Wash in cold water on a delicate cycle and avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. It is highly recommended to line dry these shorts; tumble drying on high heat may lead to unnecessary shrinkage or damage to the fabric fibers.
