Four denim pieces, all cut above the knee, all from Vale Forever: the Black 1980s Jorts in 'Black/Wash' at $139.99, the Skittles Jorts Mid Blue at $139.99, the Valley USA Leopard Shorts White at $139.99, and the "Valley" Denim Shorts Grey at $180.99.
That is the whole shelf, and we would rather say so plainly. Searches for vale raven sweats, vale sand shorts, vale dusty rose shorts and vale color block shorts land on our valley shorts listing, but what sits in our warehouse today is denim rather than cotton fleece. The jorts run long on the leg, the shorts stop higher, and the make is the same family throughout: heavy twill, felled seams, a relaxed fit through the seat.
The Black 1980s Jorts and the "Valley" Denim Shorts Grey carry the most weight of anything here; the Skittles Jorts Mid Blue and the Valley USA Leopard Shorts White feel lighter and start moving with you sooner.
Weight is what you notice first in the hand. Heavier vale denim holds a fold, stands away from the thigh and breaks in slowly along the hem, which is why the Grey pair sits at the top of the price range. The lighter mid blue softens within a few washes and drapes instead of standing. Neither is better; the heavy valley shorts hold their shape through a long day, the lighter ones are kinder in real heat.
No, and the Black/Wash pair is the clearest example: under warm indoor light it reads close to washed black, while daylight pulls the vintage wash forward and shows the grey cast through the thighs.
The Grey "Valley" shorts go cooler and flatter outdoors. Mid Blue on the Skittles jorts looks deeper in a room and brighter on the street. The white ground of the Valley USA Leopard Shorts throws the screen print into high contrast in sun, which is worth knowing before you pair these valley shorts with anything patterned.

Buying a size down because the denim cut looks wide. The width is drafted in, not accidental, so sizing down tightens the waist without giving you the intended line.
We tested all four on the same waist measurement. Our results: take your true waist and let the thigh fall where it falls. Jorts worn tight at the waist ride up as you walk, which is the one complaint we hear about valley shorts generally.
A full-length pair of vale jeans gives you the same heavyweight cotton and the same relaxed leg, with far more fabric to carry.
People who shop valley shorts usually own the long version already and want the summer equivalent of it. The hem is the difference, and on the jorts that hem is deliberately long enough to sit near the knee. Streetwear built around skate wear tends to work this way.
Before you order
Everything a buyer usually checks before paying — answered without the small print.
Vale is an independent American streetwear brand born from West Coast culture — surf, skate, and desert landscapes. We build pieces for artists, skaters, and dreamers who want authentic clothing instead of corporate polish. Every item we create carries real cultural weight, whether you're at the park or walking through the city.
We're rooted in California's creative subcultures and the raw ambition of American youth culture. Our team draws energy from the communities that shaped us, translating that spirit into minimal yet purposeful designs. Everything we make reflects the genuine energy of the places and people we come from.
We don't follow trends — we create pieces that feel timeless. Our design language stays clean and purposeful with washed palettes and relaxed silhouettes that work everywhere. We tested our products against our own standards, not industry shortcuts, because we built Vale for people like us.
