Where can I buy affordable blue jeans for men and women that have
nickel-free buttons and zippers?  I'm allergic to nickel which is in
most buttons and zippers on blue jeans.

YCC Zippers:

says their products are nickel-free, and are used by Kenneth Cole, Wal Mart, etc.

You may want to look for the YCC brand on zippers and buttons, or try
contacting them directly to identify particular clothing lines that
use their products:

Sunil Monga     +91-98-100-12278     sunil@ansun.com

Let me know how this works out.

Sorry, I do not know about nickel free buttons, however, my daughter
is allergic to nickel and i cover the buttons in clear nail polish.
This helps. Also you can buy those little green felt stickers at the
craft stores for the bottoms of planters to keep them from scratching
the tables this also helps.
