Selecting the "best" denim depends on what "best" means for you!
Best Quality
- Look for heavyweight denim with generally cotton and tight, reliable sewing. Selvedge denim and clean finishing are good signs. Consider trustworthy brands known for quality.
- Top of the line retail stores, designer denim stores, or online retailers specializing in quality denim. Be prepared for a higher price point.
Best value
- Good balance between quality and cost. Mid-weight denim with good stitching really looks at sewing and equipment. Look for deals or discounts at retail stores or online retailers.
- Retail stores, a few online retailers, and even second hand shops can have unexpected, but invaluable treasures!
Most Sustainable
- Sustainable denim brands that use natural cotton, reused materials, and eco-friendly manufacturing processes.
- Online retailers having some expertise in sustainable fashion, or look for eco-conscious denim lines from laid out brands. Be ready for potentially higher prices.
