Mine are still as stiff as cardboard after 4 weeks, but I haven't worn them as frequently as I ought to.<br /> Raw, or 100% cotton jeans really do seem to flatter the figure (especially my behind!) more than those containing stretch, probably because they are more 'structured'.<br /> Ah, they used to make them at Topshop and other high street stores before the obsession with lycra took over, and quality seems to have plummeted since then, too. </p> <p>Always a good idea to size down though, for the raw denim eventually slackens and molds to the body.<br /> Definitely try ebay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598936 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:43:16 +0000 Sarah A 598936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a 100% cotton pair that are level 99 which i also got on ebay... not sure of any other details that are helpful though... sorry!</p> <p>ETA: I have a pair of cheapo jeans which use about 50% Ramie to get out of the expensive cost of cotton and they are the coolest in warm weather I have ever had... I was curious when I discovered this last summer so I looked up Ramie and it is a natural fiber as well... FWIW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598860 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:40:18 +0000 Diana 598860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I am a 29/8 but probably a 30 in stretchless denim. I am hard to fit in jeans though and none of my fallback styles come in a stretchless formulation, unfortunately, so I am hesitant to buy from ebay because it's usually annoying to return things. I did see the TR ones that Denise has, but the price is a little high for me. Maybe if they go on sale... I don't understand why premium 100% cotton jeans always seem more expensive than the spandexy ones.</p> <p>Anna, I might order those Quicksilver ones - from Zappos, so I know I'll be able to return. Thanks!</p> <p>Rae, the only style Lucky currently makes without stretch seems to be the Lil Maggie which is indecently low on me. I love Sweet N Lows ... even though they don't make 100% cotton right now, you've given me a great idea to look for old ones on ebay!</p> <p>Donna, I've never met a pair of men's jeans that will fit my 13" waist-hip difference! Not exactly a boy's shape... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598838 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:13:54 +0000 DonnaF 598838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boys' or mens' jeans? I tried some on at a Levi's store but the pockets were huge. They may not be so huge across the board, tho'. I would start the search at a thrift store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598837 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 21:13:15 +0000 rae 598837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't looked lately, but I used to get my 100% cotton ones from Lucky Brand. I think mine were around $100. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598834 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:53:08 +0000 modgrl 598834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>APC? They may be pricey, not that comfy either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598831 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:49:39 +0000 Mo 598831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>there are hundreds on eBay cheap. Not sure your size either but <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/Jeans-/11554/i.html?_nkw=jeans+100%25+cotton&#038;_catref=1&#038;_trksid=p3286.c0.m1538" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/Jeans-.....6.c0.m1538</a></p> <p>And, yes, Denise's TR are 100% cotton but expensive, as you mentioned. They look great, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-100-cotton-no-stretch-jeans#post-598820 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:26:53 +0000 annagybe 598820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Denise(CocoLion) found a pair of True Religion recently.

I love them for summer (so much more cool and comfy than anything with spandex) but they are so hard to come by. Here's what I'm looking for:<br /> -100% cotton<br /> -lightweight<br /> -light or medium wash, some distressing is OK<br /> -straight leg or bootcut, a little slouchy but not baggy<br /> -"medium" rise (this will be low rise on me)<br /> -fits my pear hips and thighs (but I don't mind sizing up so long as the waist is not huge)<br /> -not &gt;$300! (seriously, all the ones I've seen lately are SUPER expensive. I like premium but won't pay more than ~150 for them) </p>
