M&S Men’s jeans

My husband is getting on in years but still a proud jeans wearer. He’s always bought them from M&S. Always “relaxed fit” (or whatever their descriptor of the moment is) and always cotton with a bit of Lycra. I’ve checked their website today and no such thing exists now. We’ve already given up buying the underwear he likes from M&S (they’ve stopped doing them). Who on earth do M&S think their core shoppers are? The models in the pics on the website certainly don’t seem to match the shoppers I see in the store.
Can anyone recommend good quality but not astronomically expensive older man’s jeans with a largish waist, long leg and a bit of stretch?

I totally agree, the models figures look nothing like my 77 year old husband!

Can't help with the jeans but my Son swears by 'step one' for undies as they stretch and give but never ride up. (Made of bamboo) They are pricey but worth it according to him.

MrJ wears M&S straight fit stretch jeans sometimes, he’s 62

Can't confirm about men's but I've been a convert to sainsbury jeans so maybe worth a try

My husband has stopped wearing M&S jeans after many years.
He wears Levis now.

Yes my husband has swapped to levis’s they seem a much better fit.

since 1969 both wear or did wear levis

My husband prefers Levi 511 slim jeans.

His very short 5'10" self is well suited to Levi jeans.

Is my DH the only man in the universe who has never, ever worn a pair of jeans?

Chums do men’s jeans that stretch etc. my other half bought a pair last year and says they are the most comfortable he has ever worn. I like jeans but must have a light cotton/Lycra mix for comfort and cannot stand tight jeans. Am afraid traditional jeans are so heavy, stiff and unforgiving.

They've changed their sizes again too. I was always regular length then that changed to short and now short is too short! Unless my legs have grown 😃

Men’s are usually waist and leg Elaine1 like 32” 34”.

Thanks all for your thoughts. It’s given me lots to look into. The hunt begins!
