Are there ANY women's jeans that are 100% cotton??!!
I can't find any that aren't stretch. I HATE STRETCH JEANS! They never fit right & they bag in the wrong places! I miss the days when I could go into any store & find something that fit right. I'm not that hard to fit....I just want a pair of jeans that fits properly!

3. Women's Jeans What a Freaking Joke
everyone does not have hips twice as wide as their waist. The only ones you are describing are in sizes 0-4 for pixies.

4. Buy the stretch jeans a size smaller
I used to hate them also, but now am in love with my Levi's 516 boot cut jeans. So comfy - better than pajama jeans.

5. I went jeans shopping with my wife a few weeks ago, and I was amazed how shitty
they are! The quality is terrible, and they cost a fortune...but they have cute names and little designs and shit. Hard to find any good quality women's shoes, either.

You guys should rebel against this and stop paying huge money for crap.

11. Stores you visited? Because there are most decidedly great jeans and quality shoes!

21. We went to Boscov's a regional store here in the Reading area...and we did
find good quality jeans and shoes there, but they are certainly in the minority...

6. I've been looking too (and failing)
I can't find ANY all-cotton jeans. x( I hate the way spandex jeans stretch out so drastically; the cotton jeans used to, too, but not so much.

I bought a pair of these a little while ago and I think I like them but I had to exchange them for a size larger, so I haven't actually had them in my possession yet. (The customer review said they run large, but they don't.) They're only 2% spandex, and when I tried them on, they felt like the old cotton jeans--not as soft and flexible--in a bad way--if you know what I mean. They're on deep discount--might be worth a try. http://www.territoryahead.com/jump.jsp?itemID=9226&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C6%2C180%2C185&iProductID=9226&sortBy=Sort%20by&page=1&onePage=

7. I think Lee Riders are non-stretchy
And I agree with your stretch hatred. Not all of us can or want to wear skin tight materials.

10. Stretch jeans bag for you and cotton ones don't? The spandex/lycra is what keeps the shape.

20. As someone who sews, I must say ...
... the machine in that picture looks far too flimsy for sewing through a few layers of denim.

You'll have to check the individual pants listings, though, because only some of them are 100% cotton.

16. Lands End
I get all my jeans there. They do stock some disgraceful stretch, low waist nonsense. Arrgh, I hate the low-waist things!! But they do have regular denim in original cut. Kinda pricy, at about $25 - 30 but they last years and years.

And like GPV said, LL Bean.

23. $25-30 pricey? That's cheap for women's jeans.
I'd say $30 is the cheapest I ever see, and I don't see it that often.

27. Great minds, kimi
I ordered a pair of custom jeans from them. They're not perfect; my measurements may have been off. But they do fit and they are very comfortable.

17. My wife has the same complaint
It takes her weeks to find a pair that fit. I don't understand why it should be so hard to find a pair of jeans!

24. Our nearby Goodwill has TONS of womens' jeans, and I bought some Eddie Bauer
there that fit well. I liked them enough to go their factory outlet store to get a new pair, too.
My SIL volunteers at a second hand clothing store that makes money for local charities, and they were having a $2.00 sale when I was visiting. I got a pair of lower-waisted Calvin Klein boot-cut, and a slightly "momish" lighter denim Liz Claiborne pair that are very comfortable. Judging by the clothes there many local wealthy women buy and toss clothes as a hobby. ;)
The good thing is that they are definitely pre-shrunk, and there are MANY different brands and styles, a few even vintage!

25. Would organic cotton and/or hemp do?
Organic Cotton, Linen, & Hemp Bottoms: Pants (Rawganique)

I buy all hemp shoes and belts from them every couple of years or so :)

31. Thanks to all for the tips!
I also tried looking on eBay for vintage jeans. Another good resource!

And for good quality women's shoes, try:

Good luck!
