  • The best Jean shorts!
Special Size: Standard Size: 32 Color: Dark Indigo Destructed
They are not joking when they say to size up. I feel like these run pretty small due to no stretch. BUT! Once you find your size, omg these are so cute! I’m 5’3/175 and usually wear a M/L or a size 30 but had to size up to a 32 to find a perfect fit. I can already tell they are going to be my go-to summer shorts. Material thickness: Super thick jean material. Feels sturdy and also provides a bit of compression on my lower belly which I love! Pocket size: Pocket size is super practical. Plenty of room for your phone and doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall out Look: I love the vintage Jean distressed look. These are just the perfect jeans shorts. ... show more

  • Size up or true to size….you decide.
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: (New) Update Forward
I bought the non-destructed dark wash hemmed style. They are a non stretchy material. I sized up so they would ride just below belly button and are a little looser in the waist for sitting. Normally wear 28 in Levi’s but bought 29 in these. I find that the button flies tend to dig into waist when you sit. 29s are perfect. ... show more

  • These shorts will hurt your feelings first, and others later
Special Size: Standard Size: 34 Color: (New) Darn It Now
Why did you pick this product vs others?: The reviews don’t lie. These shorts will hurt your feelings. I buy Levi jeans regularly and I’m a 30-31… in these shorts I’m a 34. Ouch. Talk about bruised ego. BUT. Once you get the right size, and put them on… they look GOOD! They feel like they are actually shorter than they look… but somehow (at least on me) they look like that perfect length and just amazing. Like, it hurts others feelings how good they look! The one and only downfall (why I removed a star) is that if you’re curvy like me, the front of the legs are kinda tight when you sit (pic with my leg in the air to show) and since there’s no stretch at all that can be uncomfortable after long periods while sitting because it kind of puts pressure in the crotch area. The only other thing that can be good or bad, depending on what you’re looking for is these shorts stay very rigid for multiple washes. My first pair still haven’t fully relaxed yet. ... show more

  • Size 27, Jean shorts
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: Jazz Solo - Medium Indigo
It fits true to size, I’m 5’1, 126 lbs and I ordered these on a 27, it’s so comfy, the color is perfect! And it doesn’t really shrink in the dryer so it’s even more perfect, it fits up to my waist but it also doesn’t let my bootycheeks show which is amazing because in jeans shorts for me that’s a bit rare.. would absolutely recommend, there so durable, and the material is perfect ... show more

  • super cute when you find the right fit
Special Size: Standard Size: 29 Color: (New) Quiet Riot
Why did you pick this product vs others?: cute but some styles run smaller than others. i’m 5’9”and 150lbs, i wear a 28 usually so i ordered a 29 in the quiet riot and the dark indigo destruction. the indigo destruction fit great but i had to order the next size up (30) in the quiet riot to get the right fit around my thighs. if you’re curvy, prepare to do some trial and error ... show more

  • Just follow the product size chart.
Special Size: Standard Size: 27 Color: (New) Blow Big Horns
Ugh, ordered a 27, instead of 26 because reviews said to size up. Wish i didn’t. Go with your measurements, and their size guide. Fit would have been fine with my actual size. also, these aren’t zip, they’re all button which i didn’t know. Hate that. And not as cute in person. Might return, especially because i’m in the middle of losing weight, these will fall off by the end of next month. am not pulling very hard at all to show the gaps. i’m 5’4 140 lbs, 36.5 hip 28 waist. I wear small pants medium/ l tops. i have one pair of shorts right now from another brand that are 26’s and they fit. Go with the product size guide !!! I just think people don’t know their measurements due to various brands. I do want to note, if you’re okay with baggier fit, maybe 1 size up but i like my stuff fitted. ... show more

  • Great Price for good quality denim
Special Size: Standard Size: 26 Color: (New) Blow Big Horns
Give five stars because they are well made and exactly as pictured. I am 5’10 and weigh 120 pounds, usually a 25 but ordered a 26 and they fit good cold comfortably with a little bagginess which is how I prefer my denim shorts to fit. I am returning them however because they are just a hair too short for comfort on me due to my height. Great shorts for a great price though! ... show more

  • Perfection!
Special Size: Standard Size: 25 Color: Ojai Top - Light Indigo
The only shorts I will wear. I spent years looking for the perfect jean shorts and these were the winners. I own 3 pairs now and plan to keep buying more. It’s hard to find shorts that go with my long legs. These are perfect!
