100% Cotton Jeans

jmwolf

I was perusing my local Nordstrom Rack recently, flipping through a rack of denim from a mix of brands, and my hand fell on what felt like 100% cotton jeans! Seemingly a rarity right now, as others have discussed. I checked the tag and yes they were!

Brand is "Sincerely Jules" (I think it was started by a lifestyle blogger - blog of the same name. I wasn't familiar until I looked it up.) and browsing her online store it looks like all her denim offerings are 100% cotton with some interesting shapes from the looks of it.

Will post a pic soon!

Jmwolf, good to know! I can't abide synthetics in jeans! Lyocel is particularly bad in my opinion. It seems the fabric stretches with body heat and pants get baggy, etc.

During a closet audit I identified 3 pairs of my favourite jeans (99-98% cotton/1-2% Lycra Hanna Highrise from Mark's Work Wearhouse) that won't make it past summer. When I checked out replacements I learned MWWH has changed the fabrication - reducing the cotton content dramatically. So dissappointing.

I did pick up a pair of men's Wrangler Vintage Slim Selvedge Denim (99%cotton/1%lycra) that fit surprisingly well. Nice, deep front pockets, too! (Women's pockets are often so shallow.). Wrangler's were my 'go to' jeans in my 20's and 30's so I'm happy to give this pair a try.

Now to check out the Jules site.

My legs actually have an allergic reaction to polyester, and that's in most jeans these days.

Runcarla - so true, it's hard to find 100% cotton or close to it and I like your resourcefulness in continuing to look - no retail stone unturned, right?

Carol - wow, that's got to be tough! Yes, seems many brands are using poly in their denim blends. Vintage stores can be a resource as well for more cotton-rich choices.

Thanks for the heads up. I am not a big fan of the stretching lately. I am in the market so this is timely- thanks

Top Shop, sold at Nordstrom and in their own stores, offers many 100% cotton jeans usually between $75 to $100 and sold in regular and petite sizing. You need to size up a size or two which I tend to forget.
