Bonobos was born because founders, Andy Dunn & Brian Spaly, couldn’t find men’s pants that fit (they were either too tight or too boxy) and wanted to fix this common problem men face while shopping.

Bonobos’ selection comprises top-quality stretch denim jeans, high-end selvedge, and soft-brushed jeans. They have a variety of fits no matter how thick your thighs or legs are, and whether you’re searching for a slim fit, straight leg cut, or a tailored feel, Bonobos has you covered.

Nudie Jeans is one of our absolute favourite jeans brands here at DMARGE. How come? The Swedish manufacturer prides itself on producing sustainably made denim from 100 per cent organic cotton and runs on the ethos of every pair of jeans telling its own unique story. The company encourages all customers to refrain from washing their jeans for at least the first six months of ownership so that they can take on a character of their own, and should they ever become damaged or ripped, promises to offer free repairs for life.

We also love Nudie’s transparent approach to business, as a quick look on its website will show you a breakdown of the company structure including its finances. It’s certainly a brand you should respect.

At last count, I think I’ve purchased no less than 10 pairs of Nudie Jeans….. yes, 10. I even purchased a pair of the flared Nudies most recently.

John Elliott’s eponymous clothing label was founded in 2012 on the basis of creating a line of fashion basics, but with the quality you’d expect from a high-end tailor. The label has since become a favourite among the celebrity world, being seen worn by the likes of LeBron James, Kanye West, and Justin Bieber, so if you consider yourself to be in the same echelon as names such as these, this is a brand for you.

We wouldn’t call the denim range extensive, but the jeans offered are ones that have been meticulously crafted down to the very last detail… Rips included.

If you’re a skinny bloke, like me, then get onto the John Elliot Cast 2 jeans. I’ve purchased more than 5 pairs in a range of washes. These are without a doubt the best jeans I’ve ever purchased. Unfortunately, they’re expensive but worth it IMHO.
