Most every brand of jeans (and I have many) put some stretch in them these days. However, just a little added to give ease to the cotton denim....I'm not talking jeans like Quacker's "dream jean" which are really a denim substitute.

 

But maybe try brands like Lands End? I never shop there but others here do...they strike me as a brand that might be more traditional denim.

If you go to the "Levi's" website you CAN find all cotton jeans. 


("LLBean" and "Lands End" sometimes have a couple all cotton)

@goldensrbest I just bought a pair of Levi's on Amazon that are 100% cotton.

I just do not like all the amount of poly in jeans.Not a fan of poly in clothes.

For jeans.....

 

I absolutely HATE faded jeans.

 

I like a bit of poly.   It helps prevent fading.  A bit of rayon for smooth texture is also okay. 

 

I want a small amount of spandex - about 1% or 2%.

I don't mind a bit of poly in the black jeans I have from Talbots. It must be the poly that keeps those jeans so black, wash after wash.

 

For the most part, I do prefer jeans with 1-2% stretch. Recently purchased a couple pair of Levis w little stretch and I love them. Will buy that style again.

I agree with @ALRATIBA . I steer away from 100% cotton. I find they fade, are rough and uncomfortable. The rayon gives a little softness, poly for color saturation and of course, gotta have a little stretch.

 

Last Christmas my son-in-law asked for jeans. I bought him his first pair of jeans with spandex. He loved them so much he thanked me many times and he actually didn't know why he liked them so much. I told him they had a little give due to the spandex and he said he will only buy jeans with this fabric content from now on.

I prefer dark rather than faded. More slimming.
