How do you get the best denim clothes?

[Shweta Patel]

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.
