Wanted: Nickel-Free Jeans

Wanted: Nickel-Free Jeans
I'd like to bring out a comment left by a reader in the hopes that someone may be able to help. In response to my post on using nail polish to prevent contact with nickel-containing clasps and buttons, reader Mel, said,
A great idea, but has anyone found jeans that are manufactured without metal in them?
I'm going to assume that the offending material here is nickellinks, and not metals in general, as nickel is the most common culprit for contact dermatitis due to metal exposure. Well, I've done a bit of digging, and all I found out was that Mel is not alone in looking for nickel-free jeans. I've found shops where you can get nickel-free belt buckles, but the closest solution I've got so that those with nickel allergies may be able to wear jeans is to replace the buttons and rivets with nickel-free ones. You can ask your tailor to alter your jeans, or custom-make one for you.

Other than that, I'm sorry. I'm surprised that there hasn't been an enterprising soul who has capitalized on this apparent demand in the market.
