the button fly adds bulk
I should have read further to see that these are button fly. I have yet to wear them because everything I put them on with doesn’t look right. They also run small. I’m normally a 27 but had to get a 29 in these so size up.

Not happy
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Not happy. The fabric stinks even after I have washed it. Also material is too rigid/ not confortable.
Levis response
Hello Gen, 👋 Thank you for getting in touch with us. You may notice that our denim can be a bit stiff when you first get it, but that's actually what makes it last a long time. It may take a few washes or wears to get them nice and soft, but it's totally worth it in the end! But hey, we understand that waiting isn't for everyone. That's why we've got more options available to help you find the perfect pair of jeans that will last you a long time. We just wanted to let you know that we offer a 30-day return policy where you can return your item(s), completely free of charge. If you have any questions, our Help Center has more information, so feel free to check it out. Levi's US Customer Service

Not true to size
I wanted to like these so much, but you would have to size up at least 2 to make them fit. I have many Levi’s so I know my size but thins was just terrible. Also, the color was off, looked like dark acid wash- so ugly.

Nice classic jean shorts.
I like the length of these shorts and the shape, they do not flare out in an A shape like many shorts do. The waistband is comfortable. Will be wearing these for years to come.

Sizing is off.
Good quality but the sizing is definitely off. I sized down and they are still at least one size too large for me.
Levis response
Hello, thanks for reaching out. Our goal is to provide a diverse range of fits that cater to everyone. We suggest reviewing our Men’s and Women’s Jeans Guide for comprehensive information on each fit or reaching out to customer service for personalized style recommendations. Our jeans are deliberately designed to vary in size, with some being intentionally oversized, cropped, or slimmer, even within the same size range. Additionally, slight alterations to fabric treatment, finishing, or composition can influence the fit of a pair of jeans. Moreover, each pair of jeans may fit individuals differently.   Also, just so you know, we have a 30 day return policy where you can return your item(s) for a different size, free of charge**. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit our Help Center for more information. And hey, if you're not already a Red TabTM Member, sign up Here to enjoy free shipping and returns.   Susan, Levi's Customer Support.      Levi's US Customer Service
