Buying jorts can be quite the cut-up—finding that sweet spot between denim shorts that hit just the right length and fits like a glove can really be a tailor-made challenge. Some jorts scream “dad vibes” while others look like they’ve had one too many denim wash cycles. Plus, the hunt is often hemmed in by limited options in local stores, making it feel like finding a needle in a haystack—or should we say, a fray in a jean stack. But fear not, denim devotees! Austin offers so many spots to get your jorts on that you’re sure to find a pair that won’t leave you distressed in a bad way. Whether you want your denim cut loose and easy or just a little snip of edgy style, these ten local hotspots will have you jean-uinely covered.
