The Fit was good. The chart for the overall Levi's below showing various styles said that they sit at the waist, but when they arrived, the information stated that they sit below the waist; one reason that I did not choose Levi's 569 was that they stated (up front) that they sit below the waist. They were lighter weight denim, similar to Levi's "Signature" series, but twice the price. I laundered them as instructed on the tag (cold water), but when they came out of the dryer, the color was uneven, lightly striped at the front pockets and faded spots on the back pockets (it appears that the material was not dyed sufficiently or the dye bath was diluted). I read some of the other negative comments, but I will keep them as a reminder, even though they are not suitable for wearing in public.
