Does anyone NOT like stretch in jeans?
It’s very difficult to find jeans that don’t have any stretch in them. Levi’s 501’s don’t which is great. It used to be jeans were tough and rugged! I wear jeans now 7 days a week; I’d like some variety with no stretch!

I prefer no stretch in my jeans too.
I guess the stretch is put in there to facilitate the trend of skinny jeans. Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

Stretch in modern jeans is a life saver for my middle aged waste

quite a few brands selling American-made raw denim if you are so inclined. Me, I kinda gave up on the whole wearing jeans should be a punishment thing. I wear dark denim but comfort matters a lot.

I don't like stretch denim jeans at all. That's why I pretty much only wear 501s, however I did buy a pair of non stretch 505s a few weeks ago at Pennys. It was actually the only non stretch 505 I've seen in a few years.

I am a total Levi Strauss jeans guy, that I also wear 7 days a week. Have a lot of different colors, but let me say, I have ordered my 33 x 24 size many times from Levi but not all or anywhere near the same, upon arrival. Length is never true to size and neither is the waist.
I have ordered now three 514s with slight stretch and love them. Sorta similar to the glide lock band feature lol |

Diesel has denim with and without stretch.
I agree, a bit of variety is nice, and jeans without stretch kind of mold to your shape |

I like a little stretch. But that’s because I wear skinny jeans.

Agreed, but I wear slim jeans.. Many of the jeans I wear are 98% cotton/2% stretch blend. Just the right amount of stretch and very comfortable especially with skinny, slim or fitted jeans.

This is what I’ve been gravitating toward also.

I do prefer slight stretch in my daily wear jeans and chinos. 2% seems about right but my wife likes some of my tighter fitting pants and those need 10% to be bearable for me as I have always worn baggier jeans.
Try 3sixteen for jeans with extremely high quality denim and sizing consistency. They offer a variety of fit profiles which is helpful for me and my huge thighs.

I am very thin and love skinny jeans. I don't like stretch because I don't need it and they slip down my snake hips so I have to wear a belt. But pretty much every brand that has jeans that fit me are stretch. I can do with 2% elastane. Any more and I return them.
Pretty much every woman I know says they wish they had my body type. To avoid lawsuits I keep my mouth shut. |

Have to do stretch. Most jeans are way too big in the waist and way too small in the legs these days. Find 7 jeans in a regular cut work best. Wear them everyday in the office and hate to wear slacks or dress shoes now.

I’m not into skinny jeans at all. They don’t fit my ‘build’ well. 501’s are always great. I’ll look for a pair of 505’s also. I’d like a little variety but you can’t go wrong with 501’s.

I mostly prefer skinny only because I have bird legs. In the past, I’ve mostly only had stretch but recently purchased a pair of Iron Heart 25oz. Not a lick of stretch in those bad boys but I actually find them very comfortable to my surprise.
