My Hero in the Great Shorts Crisis of 2025

Picture this: it’s the start of fall. Palm Fran’s are turning brown, pumpkin spice is in full swing, and every store has decided shorts no longer exist. Meanwhile, I’m in full panic mode — I need shorts for a show tonight. Time is ticking. My hopes? Gone. My faith in retail? Hanging by a thread. Then enters Alex. The legend. The myth. The retail hero I didn’t know I needed. With the calm confidence of someone who’s seen things, Alex accepted the impossible mission: find shorts in October. I’ve already been in the store for ten minutes, my hopes we down at this point. Alex without hesitation pointed me to exactly what I’ve been searching for, holding the last pair of shorts known to mankind. I swear, there was a faint golden light and distant angelic choir music. If there were a Nobel Prize for customer service, Alex would’ve won it on the spot. Someone get this person a raise, a crown, and maybe a cape.

Classic Levi’s for a classic look!!

Levi’s name is synonymous with quality. You’ll never see anybody right about the bad quality you ever got from Levi’s because they do it right and they most definitely turned out a great pair of cut off shorts. I will have these shorts for a very long time because they’re that good thick heavy duty denim that you get from Levi’s. The length is about 3 inches insane but I did notice in person that I didn’t notice online. Is that their shorter in the front and a bit longer in the back which is pretty cool, it covers your buns! Great shorts great laugh if you got great legs because these things show everything! Beware they’re short
