I would like real 100 % cotton, regular jeans with no skinny legs, no spandex, real fly and button.

The jeans you are speaking or wanting are probably best sought out at B&M. Today's jeans that are in demand are: thiner, light weight material that stretches & recovers it's shape. Yesterday's jeans are heavy, and don't flatter a women's body.

Levis 501 or 505 are still being made.  Just Google them.

@20961 Have you check out Levis, they used to be my favorite brand because of the all cotton. This was a few years ago. Worth a look. I prefer a jean with a little stretch now. Much more comfortable to me. Good luck.

There are still places out there to get them and as others said Levis still have them and I think Wrangler does also.  I am much happier with stretch.  With all denim, a weight gain or loss makes a huge difference in how they look and feel if there is no stretch.

@camelot  For me, the stretch adds the comfort factor.

I'm sure they're out there, but personally I can't imagine a pair of pants without Spandex anymore!

Once I started wearing stretch denim I never wore any other kind

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Yes, stretch denim is much more comfortable in my opinion.  I think most people find it more comfortable with some spandex in it, so it will be hard to locate 100% cotton jeans that is not knit.

 

Isaac Mizrahi's TRUE Denim Jeans is 99% cotton and only 1% spandex A280091 

 

Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans (Sold in JCPenny) is 98% cotton and 2% spandex. 

 

With only 1% or 2% spandex and no polyester, it will not feel like 100% denim and not stretch denim. You can give it a try.

Premium jeans are pushing the 100%.  I own one and it took me a while to fit to my body.  I prefer the slight stretch.  I'm wearing this one that came today.  It's from Frame and it's called Le Boy.  A straight jean with a great color 1% elastane.  A stretch that bounces back.  But it fit's pefectly.  So it's juat barely a stretch.  The other one I got was from Agolde is about the same composition but buttons up instead of a zipper. I prefer the slgiht stretch to no stretch.  The usual straight 9" rise, 29" inseam, 14" leg opening.  Japanese denim (considered the best in the world) medium weight.  American made.
