We often preach the virtues of buying less but buying better. It makes sense for your wallet, the environment, and you’ll end up with a garment that’ll get better with time, rather than fast fashion that’s falling apart at the seams. And when it comes to finding the best jeans for men, this is no different.

In fact, if you’re going to spend big on a piece of clothing, there’s arguably no better investment in men’s pants than a pair of jeans. You can wear them with virtually anything, a well made pair will last forever, and then there’s the fade potential of raw denim, which is sole reason for many indigo enthusiasts to drop hundreds on blank denim canvasses, on which every step, bend and lean paints a new brush stroke.

Denim can be confusing though; how can you tell where to buy the best jeans for men? A quick Google reveals forums with enthusiastic tribes seemingly at war over which tiny Japanese brand makes the best jeans. The denim section on Superfuture’s forum has 200 threads alone, with each thread boasting up to 900 pages – it’s enough to make you choke on a cocktail of inseams and copper rivets. That’s why we rounded up the best jeans for men at every fit and budget, so you can get off the forums and into a pair that fits like a glove.
