I wrote a review of the Levi's while wearing the Dockers; the review was about the pants I was wearing, which are great, bu thad to be shortened a LOT.  I don't know what "short" means in the sizing, but these are longer than most pants with 'short" in the size.  Other than that, they fit well and are very comfortable.  I haven't washed them yet, (just got them yesterday) so I don't know if they will shrink.
I cannot edit the wrong review, so i will comment here:  the Levi's 512's have a design on the back pockets that I do not like at all.  For me, it is poorly located and looks ridiculous.  I have other 512's with NO design and did not expect one on these.  i don't like it at all.  They fit well, and all that, but the design is not for me.  I do not want attention being drawn to my bottom!!!  If I were taller and skinnier, no problem.  But I am short and overweight and want that area of my body ignored.  I am going to try to return them.
