Denim Jeans for everyday use
Discussion
I need to replace some of my jeans and would like to know where to get good everyday jeans and I want the non stretch material, unfortunately almost all the jeans I saw recently are with the stretch material which I dont like
I'm after straight leg regular type of jeans for work and casual use

Primark do a huge range of jeans in the £10 to £15 price range,
The quality is great, although personally, i prefer the stretch ones, but they have plenty of non stretch too.
I've paid £80 in the past, and they don't seem any better.

If you don’t want stretch, then you want selvedge.
Do you remember back in the 80’s when you put on a freshly washed pair of jeans and it was like an ironing board? We would have to wear them a couple of times to “warm them up” and for them to become flexible. Well we lost that with the introduction of elastic materials.
Selvedge brings us back to those days.

Stretchy jeans are amazing. They bring the comfort of joggers/tracksuit without looking like a chavvy bellend.
As for sources of less comfortable stiff jeans, John Lewis, Next, M&S, Vinted, Amazon, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda etc. basically everywhere but you'll have to check labels for elastane and discard those.

Primark are my go to for jeans. Used to be a Levis man but Primark are better quality and a nicer fit. Straight leg, button fly, I prefer the stretch but non stretch are available. And a great range of colours. The quality is great, although personally, i prefer the stretch ones, but they have plenty of non stretch too.

I'll give another vote for Primark too. Since covid they have got more expensive, I remember buying a pair for a fiver from there, doesn't seem that long ago.h0b0 said:
Oh, that's odd. Perhaps they stretch over a period of several wears. I know my own selvedge jeans had zero give and felt like they were made from wood when I first put them on.
You can get no stretch no selvedge jeans too. I'm wearing wrangler at the moment, which have neither from tkmaxx £35. They do lee as well.To clarify, selvedge has nothing to do with wether the jeans are stretchy or not, it's just the way they're cut from the cloth

Depending upon if you’re feeling a little spendy for some “buy it for life” type denim….
I’ve got a few pairs of Huit jeans https://hiutdenim.co.uk/
I’ve found the gauge of the denim very good. No elastane in then which is what gives some denim that stretch and alas a shorter lifespan.
You can buy stock or go made to measure. They’ve got various cuts.
Stock there’s a summer sale too at 25% off.
There’s also an In The Factory show on iPlayer where Huit are featured.
They offer free repairs for life too.
Dont think I’ll be buying many other brands now. I’ll soon have enough that I hope I’m done with buying any more jeans
