I need help finding good jeans. I have a problem finding good fitting ones because my waist is smaller than my thighs. I buy size 17R skinny jeans from Kohls because they fit my thighs, but the fabric quality isn't that great. Anyone have any suggestions?

The Buckle is awesome because they have so many different brands, washes, styles and lengths. Express is also good and a little less expensive.
I buy allllllll my jeans from Old Navy :) They have different cuts for different body types (just be aware that you'll most likely be a different size in different cuts), and different lengths. This works perfect for me because I'm really short, but not skinny enough to qualify as petite, lol.
I second Old Navy. They have different cuts for different body types, and the fabric is amazing. I shop there because they're the only ones who carry decent jeans my size, although even the shortest pair I have to have hemmed. I'm just too short for jeans... LoL.
I found the perfect jeans at Lane Bryant they are called Right Fit (I believe) they are amazing because they have something for every body type
my favorite jeans in the entire world are the jeans at Delia's. but i don't know jeans vary at different stores, its a matter of trying them on and finding out what style you like. i have long legs and delia's always has long's, and they have regular and short. and they're really comfy.
i like JC penny's
wetn seal has their pants on sale this week, and the fabric is really comfortable
i work at delias, and i can honestly say we have jeans that fit EVERYONE. theres so many different styles we have super skinny, skinny, bootcut, and flair, they all come in 4 legnths: petite, short, regular, and long. and in store we carry size 00 - 13/14, but online we carry 00-19/20. the jeans are SOOO comfortable. and they're always buy one get one half off. :) hope this helped!
