Levi's Men's 469 Loose Straight Denim Shorts (Also Available in Big & Tall)

After buying a couple pairs of Levi Denizen cargo jeans, I was impressed to finally have found another company that's actually back to making loose-fitting pants with decently-sized pockets to fit today's modern smartphones. Been wearing JNCO's more moderate 13" offerings the past few years since they got back in business, but after their last buyout, their current focus on giant baggy pants and $100+ pricing wasn't my thing.The Levis 469 shorts aren't excessively baggy, but loose and comfortable. Would prefer an inch longer past the knee (or an inch higher up the waist). These cover the knees nicely while standing, but unfortunately tends to expose the knee quite a bit while sitting. The crotch is low and roomy and doesn't ride up like the hem near the knees. Front pockets are deep and spacious. Not as much as JNCOs, but far better than Southpole and most other brands. Rear pockets are average, but could definitely be an inch or two deeper (or lower). It's far more comfortable and posture-friendly to sit on a wallet under your upper leg than directly under your butt. Waist size fits exactly as expected.Originally bought my first pair of 469 shorts in Slow Walker black, but absolutely loved the grey/faded black look of the (New) A Look Back color and bought those a few days later when they dropped to the same price. Not really a fan of the randomly frayed hem on the faded black pair, since this will easily happen on their own after time and pre-ripped/frayed jeans just needlessly accelerate this wear and tear. They look great for now, but not sure how well they'll look after several washes. I'm actually considering getting another pair in this color as a backup.For around $30, the overall quality is outstanding. Maybe not the weight, thickness and attention to detail as a pair of JNCO shorts, but miles better than Southpole shorts for nearly the same price. While the Levi 469 shorts and 569 jeans aren't exactly back to the 90s that I remember with JNCO, Karl Kani, Cross Colours and other baggy skater/urban wear, but they're a heck of a lot better than all the skinny jeans I've been trying to avoid ever since then. Definitely recommend giving them a try for the price.

Great fit and appearance! Jorts are super comfortable and feel great. Great quality.

I liked that they went right past my knee with the perfect fit all around. Not too stiff and looked tuff with my black shirt and yeezy slides.White shirt w birks tuff too

So happy to find these!!! Why is it so hard to find plain jean shorts that are not distressed, not skinny (girly),and not excessively short these days? Guess this fit is out of style LOL to most people. These really fit like old school regular jean shorts. Plain, no frills, good fitting Levis, and dont have a butt where the back pockets are way too far apart. Thick enough material and feel well made like they will last. HOWEVER...they do run big in the waist. My husband is a 38 or 40 in ALL pants/ shorts. Mostly a 40. Never is he under a 38 in any fit,style. Through trial and error the 36 fits him perfect. Also at 6'5 w his height being all legs I almost bought the big and tall version. Glad I didn't. The standard size was the perfect length surprisingly. Just past his knee. Finally after searching for 3 years found a good fit. Ordered 3 more pairs!!!!! Hopes this helps another frustrated shopper.

Ordered these for my husband. Good fit and comfortable. Would buy again.

Love my shorts! They fit perfectly and looks great!

These are great! They do fit a little bigger so I should have sized down. Otherwise great buy!

Pockets are too far foreword, material is extremely thin and belt loops are improperly placedHowerev they are comfortable enough, length is actually good... 1/2 inch below the knee..., and waist size is accurate... being 6'3" and 400 lbs the size is frequently inaccurate

Love them very much. Very comfy. Very pretty.

Good quality & true to size

Fit great and aren't too short.

Very thick and so rough fabric !!

Bought these as a gift for my partner. They are just the right length (below knee) for him, great relaxed fit and good hardwearing denim as you would expect from Levi’s. Very happy with them.
