Proper jeans - does noone make them anymore?

I want some slim or straight leg jeans that are made from actual denim, like in the good old days .

Not stretchy, thin or jeggings-ey.

My Levi Curve and Topshop baxters are the closest I have to a proper pair of jeans, but even they are very thin.

I just want a good old pair of jeans! Any suggestions?

Me too. I hate how ever pair of jeans has Lycra nowadays. Gap used to be good, but only their men's jeans have no Lycra.

Yes, the proper thick denim used to hold you in and stay put; every time I bend over with Lycra jeans they seem to slide down to expose my bum.

Watching with interest as would love some. Actually I'm tempted to take in the legs of my old flared Levis like in the old days [even older gimmer]

Hiut. Lovely lovely proper denim jeans which unfortunately didn't do my saggy old arse any favours so I had to send them back.

I have a pair from new look that are proper denim and Levis too. I am not keen on lycra in jeans either they look baggy and shapeless

DP will only wear proper denim. 3sixteen is the brand he wears and Rogue Territory but he definitely favours 3sixteen.

I've also got some from New Look, some of their jeans are thin & stretchy but not all. Mine are high waisted skinnies but are quite a relaxed fit, not super tight.

Fat face also might be a place to look.

I have straight cut 7 for all mankind jeans that are a lovely thick denim. They were about £60 on Amazon.
