Looking for some advice from you clothing knowledgable people. I've tended to go function and cost as priorities so I don't know much about this stuff.
I've spent most of my life wearing 501s, not stonewashed! Then one time, a few years ago, I went to get some new 501s and found that they didn't fit. 34" waist were too tight at the top of my thighs; dunno if they changed or I did.
I bought some other Levi's when I was in America, can't remember the number now but they went at the crotch within a year. Recently I went to a Levi's shop and they suggested 541s which I bought; yes they are a tiny bit stretchy but they seem ok. These are 32" waist 34" leg and fit pretty good. The sizing is flattering though, I tried some other 32" waist in TK M; too small.
Anyway, point is, where else could I look for non stretchy jeans which will last, will not be like vices on my thighs, plain non stonewashed look? Also not really into paying £200 for jeans. Would go £100 - £120 I guess. I was looking at Hawksmill on t'internet but they seem hard to find in actual shops.
Thanks for any suggests you may have.
