Looks cheap. especially part way through the day when you get diaper butt and baggy knees because it stretched out, but not back.<br />And to the gentleman: I had been buying used guy jeans at thrift stores to avoid the spandex and now I must check those as well. I can find a few jeans in mens and womens that are all cotton, but it takes quite a bit of looking and testing.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515778267115773998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405612832065408124.post-17602614351895506052016-03-23T18:04:48.783-07:002016-03-23T18:04:48.783-07:00Bringing this thread back to life. I'm a man, ...Bringing this thread back to life. I'm a man, it's 2016, and I notice the invasion of spandex on our side of things. In an entire Levi's store, every jean had spandex! They didn't even have 550-relaxed-fit in stock! I'm seriously considering going custom. I've had men's-jeans-containing-spandex from 3 different brands... they all do the same thing: When you walk, spandex jeans make a constant clapping sound from your butt. People think I'm farting when I walk by. Kind of like when you quickly pull an elastic band between your hands. No one on the internet has complained of this. My guess is that it's still early for men (spandex is new to us) and most women wear jeans so snug to their butt they've never heard this noise before. Anyways it seems like it's one big huge marketing ploy to make jeans feel more comfortable for people dealing with a gut.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405612832065408124.post-70898799113960613092013-04-10T09:32:40.144-07:002013-04-10T09:32:40.144-07:00I am trying to find pants for my office job that h...I am trying to find pants for my office job that have no spandex. I think that it looks much more professional to wear pants that drape nicely and not hugging my behind. Also, the spandex wears out rather quickly and then the pants are so loose and look awful.

Yah, it probably makes them a little more flexable in the waist area, but it's not worth it!<br />I go to work in my nice fitting jeans and an hour later I get up from my desk and I've knee and butt bulges.

I think they were spandex-free, but they could be ten+ years old. . . I like them because you can choose an inseam length like a boy! I am a medium tall.

The universe is a cruel bitch some days. <br /><br />I did find this website, not for jeans but for those bras that are on notice: <br /><br />http://www.cottonique.com/collections/womans?page=4<br /><br />Also, Yahoo Answers showed that someone asked the same question. You might want to try this link.<br /><br />http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081016164516AA5Xxed<br /><br />Unlike Brooke Shields, who wanted nothing to come between her and her Calvin Kleins, clearly, you need SOMETHING (other than bunched up granny pants) to come between you and your spandex.<br /><br />And thanks for the "old lady coin slot" imagery - that sounds vaguely David Sedaris-esque -- possibly from his short story "Naked" where he compared a naked old lady to the kind of coin purse you used to get at the bank?<br /><br />Good luck! Ask Laurie K. - she might have some leads cuz she's all about the sustainable fashion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
