Usually ready in 2 hours
Cut and reworked from authentic vintage Levi's denim, these mid-rise shorts are fully deconstructed and reconstructed to intentional, consistent measurements. Please read size guide in photos.
Each pair is sourced from original vintage Levi's garments, including styles such as 501s, 505s, original denim pants, or original denim shorts. Every piece is carefully pulled apart, re-cut and re-stitched to create a uniform silhouette across every size. The result is a structured, timeless denim short designed to hold its shape and wear beautifully over time. All styles feature a zip fly and are made from rigid, non-stretch vintage denim.
What stays the same across all sizes: • Rise: 29 cm • Inseam: 11.5 cm • Leg opening: 34.5 cm Only the waist measurement changes between sizes. Because the denim is genuine vintage, each pair will show natural variation in wash, shade, and original Levi's details. While the colour and previous garment may vary, the fit, rise, leg shape, and construction are consistent across all sizes.
These are rigid, non-stretch denim shorts designed to feel supportive and flattering. They may feel firm on first wear, but will soften and mould to your body over time while maintaining their structure.
Fit & Sizing Notes These shorts are designed to sit at a mid-rise and wear like a classic vintage denim short, structured, timeless, and flattering.
Choose your true waist measurement for a classic vintage fit by measuring your favourite shorts at home. The size guide is a recommendation only. Size up if you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed feel As with all rigid denim, expect them to soften with wear
