Vintage denim sizing doesn’t lie—and this pair of Levi’s 505 USA-made jeans, reworked into raw-hem shorts, proves it. Though tagged as a W31, these shorts fit closer to a modern US size 4–6, especially if you’re used to today’s stretch denim standards. They’re made from 100% cotton rigid denim, which means no give—just that signature structure vintage Levi’s are known for.

Originally a men’s straight-leg jean, this pair has been expertly cut into high-rise shorts with a frayed edge and subtle curve-loving shape. The light wash and classic Levi’s details give them that timeless, lived-in look.
