The Carhartt. Its stretch canvas and double-layer knees are built for abrasion, and it comes in short, regular and tall inseams.

Which is better for everyday wear?

The Levi's. The light-wash 100% cotton denim and relaxed straight leg suit casual outfits, and it costs less at the best new price.

Is the Carhartt worth the extra $10?

If you need knee reinforcement and stretch, yes. For casual wear the Levi's at $62.96 at Zappos.com as of November 8, 2026 is the better value.

Levi's buyers report it runs large, with an XS too big for a usual XS. The Carhartt is a loose fit by design, so size down if you want it closer to the body.

Does the Levi's shrink?

Buyers report it shrinks in the wash. Wash cold and tumble dry low as the care label says, and expect some shrinkage.

Which has more size options?

The Carhartt, which goes from XS to 3X with three inseam lengths. The Levi's comes in XS to XL with one 29 in inseam.
