- How does the 568 fit compare with Levi's 550 or 569?
- The 568 is looser than the 550 relaxed fit and closer to the 569 loose fit, but it has a tapered leg and carpenter detailing. It sits at the waist with a 12 1/4-inch front rise on a size 32.
- Is the canvas stiff out of the box?
- Yes. It is 100% non-stretch cotton canvas, so it starts rigid and softens with wear and washing. Expect a break-in period before it drapes like broken-in denim.
- Should I size up or down?
- The fit is loose throughout with a tapered leg, so most shoppers can take their usual waist size. If you want a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want maximum room, stay true to size.
- What is the leg opening?
- The leg opening measures 18 inches on a size 32, with a 20 3/4-inch knee. That gives a wide, straight leg that tapers slightly toward the hem.
- How should I care for the canvas?
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Wash inside out to preserve the color, and avoid bleach. The rigid canvas may shrink slightly on the first wash.
- Does it have carpenter pockets and a hammer loop?
- It is styled as a carpenter pant, so expect workwear details like utility pockets. Check the specific style page for the exact pocket layout.
