Can anyone recommend a source for jeans suitable for a slim 65+ man who doesn't want his jeans to look like "Dad jeans"?
Nice jeans. What brands would you recommend?

Levi's has a premium line called Made & Crafted with higher quality materials like selvedge denim and they are made in US. They still use the signature fits (501, 511 etc.)
I wear 511 Levis M&C jeans with suede chukka boots - very happy with them. I used to wear BB jeans that were tailored, these fit and feel better.

I may try these - are they true to fit? (I often find Levi's are way off, like a 32 is really a 34). Their "Crisp" dark wash looks good.

I wear Levis, personally. However, I think if you are in your 60s, any jeans you wear will end up being "dad jeans" so I would just get the most comfortable and durable ones you can find.
If you were 25, I could see the "dad jeans" thing being a concern.

are great. There is a straight fit and a slim tapered fit. The selvedge versions are quite nice as well, but pricier and have more fit options. They have all the measurements listed on the site, though you may have to email for the stock ones. They are made in SF from Cone Mills denim.

Any brand recommendations for jeans in a very soft material? I stopped wearing jeans because they all felt like cardboard.

LL Bean 1912 jeans are very soft and the fabric is a good weight. I got the standard fit and I really like them.

·Walmart. House brand called George, about $14.
Recommend (only) straight style, which comes in two colors: dark wash and medium wash.
They are slim throughout which is in style. But very stretchy throughout. So much so in the waist that I MUST wear a belt to counteract weight of my cellphone in the pocket. They are no-label or logo, which is great. You will be shocked at how many compliments you will get on $14 Walmart jeans. Otherwise I wear Tommy Bahama in a modern slimmer stretchy style, generally bought used on eBay.
