- How does the 550 fit compared with the 505?
- The 550 is roomier in the seat and thigh than the 505 and tapers below the knee, while the 505 is a straighter, more even leg from hip to hem.
- Is the 550 the same as the 569?
- No. The 569 is a loose fit with a wide, straight leg. The 550 is relaxed on top but tapers toward the ankle, so it looks less baggy.
- Does the denim have stretch?
- Some washes are all cotton and have no give. Others add a small amount of elastane, so check the fabric content on the specific wash before buying.
- How should I wash them?
- Turn them inside out, wash cold with like colors, and tumble dry low. Washing less often and air drying helps the indigo last longer.
- Do they run true to size?
- Most buyers take their usual Levi's waist, but sizing varies between washes. Measure a pair that fits you and compare with the size chart.
- What lengths are available?
- Inseams run from short lengths around 29 inches up to 38 inches, and waists go from small sizes into the 50s, so most builds can find a match.
