Vintage Levi’s Daisy Cut – Reworked Denim Shorts

Cut and reworked from authentic vintage Levi's denim, these mid-rise micro shorts are fully deconstructed and reconstructed to consistent, professionally graded measurements across every size.

We've upgraded our sizing. The Daisy Cut now follows modern Levi's sizing — patterned and graded by a professional pattern maker for a true-to-fit experience. Pick the size you wear in your regular Levi's.

Each pair is sourced from original vintage Levi's garments — including 501s, 505s, original denim pants, and original denim shorts. Every piece is carefully pulled apart, re-cut to our updated Daisy pattern, and re-stitched into a high-cut, thigh-skimming silhouette designed to hold its shape and wear beautifully over time.

All styles feature a zip fly and are made from rigid, non-stretch vintage denim.

What's new about our updated sizing

Vintage character
Because the denim is genuine vintage, each pair will show natural variation in wash, shade, and original Levi's details. The colour and previous garment may vary, but the fit, rise, leg shape, and construction are consistent across every pair. The structure is consistent, the soul is one of a kind.

At checkout, you can request a shade preference — light, medium, or dark — in your cart notes. We'll do our best to match your request, though as each pair is one-of-a-kind vintage, exact shade can't always be guaranteed.

Care
Rigid, non-stretch denim. Will feel firm on first wear and soften to your body over time while maintaining its structure.

What our customers are saying

Based on our many (many) reviews, here's what our customers told us — and what we changed.
Our customers love the worn-in feel and the classic vintage cut. One customer loved them so much she bought four pairs.
The most common feedback over the years? Sizing was confusing. Vintage Levi's run smaller than modern sizing, and customers were having to size up 2–3 from their usual to find the right fit.
So we listened. We hired a professional pattern maker and re-graded every cut to match modern Levi's sizing. Now you simply pick the size you wear in your regular Levi's — no math, no sizing-up guesswork.
