- How does the 565 fit compared to the 501?
- The 565 is looser through the seat and thigh and sits lower than the 501. The leg is straight rather than the 501's more regular cut.
- Is the denim stretchy?
- No. It is 100% cotton with no elastane, so it has little give and feels stiff when new. It softens with wear and washing.
- What is the rise like?
- It is a lower rise than Levi's classic straight jeans. If you prefer a jean at the natural waist, the 501 is a closer match.
- How should I care for them?
- Wash cold or at 30 degrees and tumble dry low. Washing inside out preserves the indigo, and air drying limits shrinkage.
- Who is the 565 best for?
- Men who want a roomy, non-tapered straight leg and prefer all-cotton denim. It suits casual wear more than a sharp, tailored look.
- Do they run true to size?
- They generally run true in the waist, but the loose cut leaves extra room in the thigh. Try your usual waist first.
