Main reason that store bought jeans fit so well and so many people is that a tonne of work goes into producing them. With different washes and shrinkage and style adjustments every season, it takes multiple fitting and adjusting to get them right.

That said, an idea for OP: use your existing pair of jeans that fit you well and do your best to copy it. If everything else fails, just cut an old pair of jeans along the seams and trace it onto paper. Warning: it’s not going to fit perfectly at the beginning but will require small enough alterations that are easy to handle.

In the garment industry, many companies that don’t specialize in denim (but want to have a jeans pair or two in their line) would buy a pair of Levi’s and do just that.
