It looks like their canvas jeans are now made with 2% Spandex, medium stretch. Perhaps they have a non stretch version, I didn't see any in my searches for Cowboy Cut jeans.

I need to put together an order of blues & get those going as soon as I measure up. But I’m undecided if I’ll include a pair of the tan cowboy cut or not. They would be for a bit dressier occasions so depending on fit I might be able to live with 2%.
Thanks for all the look ups & research!
It might come in handy. I know I've probably swollen 6-7% during an enthusiastic HH.

Discovered this in a thrift store in West Plains, Missouri (hometown of Porter Wagoner!) for $2.00 today.
Dresher Brothers (Omaha), 6-1/2” crown, 5” brim. Size 7-1/4. Guessing circa-1930.
Started as tailors and evolved into a major dyer / cleaner. 1898 until the 1960s.
As found:

Just to wrap this up what I was told yesterday was that the Cowboy Cut Original Fit 13MWZ’s are all 100% heavyweight cotton, felled seams, etc. Only the original Rigid Indigo Blue are not stonewashed. The purpose of stone washing is to soften up the heavyweight cotton & start the color fading of the blue or black some people are after. Rigid Indigo Blue will stand more washings before that process starts naturally. The Cowboy Cut Original Fit in colors have the 2% spandex added to soften the cotton & fit. So I ordered two pair in Rigid Indigo Blue & one pair in tan. Thanks for the info & diversion.
To put this thread back on track I’m again wearing my Optimo Traditional West in Silver Cloud on this Mother’s Day Morning.
