How the fits differ
Levi’s
true to size
Levi's generally fits true to size, though fit varies significantly across their many cuts and waist labels often measure slightly larger than stated.
Wrangler
mixed
Wrangler jeans are widely reported as true to their stated waist and inseam once washed, while rigid Cowboy Cut styles shrink and fit slim in the seat and thigh, and tops tend to run generous and boxy compared with contemporary brands.
