How does the 505 fit compare with the 501?

The 505 is a straight leg with a regular thigh and sits below the waist. The 501 is a button-fly straight leg with a higher rise and a roomier seat.

Is the 505 a slim or relaxed fit?

Neither. It is regular through the thigh with a straight leg, trimmer than the 550 relaxed fit and fuller than the 511 slim.

Yes. The fabric is 99% cotton and 1% elastane, so it gives slightly but keeps its shape.

The cotton blend can shrink a little, especially in all-cotton washes. Cold water and line drying limit it.

Five: two front, two back and a small coin pocket, with belt loops and a zip fly.

Most buyers take their usual waist. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser thigh, size up.
