I barely buy jeans now because it's hard to find a pair that isn't 10% spandex

What are you talking about? There are tons of brands that sell 100% cotton denim jeans.

Even Levi's is doing it. I was amazed to discover while shopping that they have an entire line of skinny jeans that are part spandex.

Whatever happened to practical, well-wearing clothes for gold miners?

They went the same way as the gold miners.

They're still around. Two MIUSA brands are L.C. King and Round House (I prefer King's styling), and there are probably many more made overseas.

I love L.C. King but when I checked just now, they don't have a single style of jeans in my size, all they seem to have in stock is larger sizes.
