Denim killed denim.

For a time, I could buy jeans that fit. That's now all but impossible. Skinny jeans doing much of that.

Prices and fabric quality have gone, respectively, through the ceiling and floor.

I'm approaching a decade denim-free, having broken in my first pair sometime in the 1970s.

I think the sizing issue is due to vanity sizing, a lot of brands label their denim jeans the wrong size. The so called size 36 or 38 are probably actually 38 and 40 respectively. A few international brands like Levi's don't seem to do vanity sizing.

Not just that. Leg diameters are far smaller.

Baggy in the waist, cannot get my thighs in.
