There’s no single “highest quality” brand, as it depends on your needs, but top contenders known for durability, craftsmanship, and premium materials include Levi’s (iconic quality), Japanese brands like Pure Blue Japan, Iron Heart, and Momotaro (specializing in raw, shuttle-loom denim), and high-end labels like Loro Piana, The Row, and Acne Studios for luxury, while A.P.C. and Carhartt WIP offer excellent mid-range options. For everyday quality and fit, Levi’s, Wrangler, and Lee remain the consistent leaders.
