Levi Strauss Denizen Frayed Denim Cut-off Shorts

This item is a pair of men's or unisex denim cut-off shorts in a faded black or charcoal wash. The garment is constructed from a heavy-weight cotton or cotton-blend denim fabric, typical of the Denizen line by Levi Strauss & Co. Physical characteristics include a classic five-pocket design, a zip fly with a top button closure, and integrated belt loops. A notable marking is the rectangular white fabric brand label located on the interior back waistband, prominently featuring the 'Denizen' and 'Levi's' logos in blue text. The construction shows double-needle stitching in tonal black thread for durability along the seams and pocket reinforcements. The most distinguishing condition feature is the crudely cut, raw, and frayed hemline on both legs, indicating these were previously full-length jeans that have been modified by the owner. There is visible fading and 'whiskering' around the crotch and thighs, suggesting moderate wear and a 'broken-in' aesthetic. The metal rivets on the pockets appear oxidized or finished in a dark gunmetal tone. Based on the branding styles, these are contemporary mass-market apparel items, likely from the last 5-10 years. Craftsmanship is standard for commercial-grade retail denim, prioritizing utility over luxury finishing.
