Look for "topstitching thread"
Can't help about your time-travel issue.
HTH,
You can substitute a couple of thicknesses of regular sewing machine thread for topstitching or jeans thread.
If you want to be official about it, there are some jeans threads around; I've seen them at our larger fabric stores, but not at Joann, though Gutermann topstitch thread might be a good substitute.
If you're like me and far away from a good sewing store, Wawak carries jeans threads in several shades:

Hope you can find a top stitching thread and a Jeans Needle! Barbara in FL

Most jeans are stitched with cotton covered polyester thread. The cotton fades more than all poly or poly covered poly threads will. Keep that it mind, too.
:For what it's worth, I live in Oregon, and I ordered late Monday night and got my order today, Wednesday.
Wawak/cleaner's supply (they're the same place; same prices, different sales) ships from upstate NY and NV. I think there's a transit time map on the website (there are in the catalogs).
Even if it's too heavy for the top of the machine, you can always load it in the bobbin and do the usual setup for bobbin work. Or couch the topstitch thread with a stitch that looks like __|__| on the machine, matching the thread color in the machine to the shell color.
