lament for a good pair of jeans

i really need a new pair of jeans and i've got a difficult body-type to fit.
old navy quit carrying the jeans they made that fit me except the ones with intentional flaws in the material! this is not okay. their stuff is cheap to begin with, i don't need intentional tears in material to make it even more likely that my pants rip or wear through!
and damn it if most other flare jeans aren't also $200!
ridiculous!
who pays $100 and up for jeans!?!
i will be taking a trip to the thrift store.
