Plain old jeans - Impossible to find!! Help?

Hi
I have been searching everywhere for a pair of ordinary jeans (ladies), by that I mean ones that sit on the waist and no stretchy stuff! You know the kind you got years ago, the levis/wrangers 'rigid' type. M&S have the 'sit on waist' ones but unfortunately they are very stretchy, which I hate.
I can't buy online because I am between sizes and really need to try a few sizes on. I don't want to pay over the odds, but have searched the high street to no avail.
Anybody know where I can find some?

Other suggestions:- Primark, TJ Hughes, Peacocks, Dorothy Perkins, New Look. Alot of these do A good variety of sizes lengths and whether they are stretchy or not. Hope you get fixed. I have a problem getting jeans too, (leg length is my problem) so I know how you feel! Good Luck, hope you get fixed up soon.If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect....................................

This bugs me too.I've been searching for plain jeans for ages! I cant stand all the stupid bleached patches,holes cut in,and frayed seams.when I've had them 5 years and they look like that it's fine,but I want 5 years of wear first!
They all seem to hang on your bum aswell! I don't want simon cowell style but I would like to crouch down to the kids without having a "builders bum" on show!0 -
Have you tried Countrywide stores?I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!0

Thanks for all replies. I will try again on Saturday at the stores mentioned, but I am sure I have been in most of them.
Have never heard of Countrywide stores, I am in Scotland so maybe we don't have them here.
Will post back if I ever find a pair to suit!0 -
Levi's, try on before you buy and make sure your !!! look's great. A good pair of jean's will last you YEARS:o0
