Choose tough, American-made jeans from these high-end brands. (iStock)
When looking for a reliable pair of jeans, American-made brings you options from small-batch selvage (aka, woven the old-school way) to everyday classics. The denim brands featured here cut, sew and stitch their jeans right here in the U.S. There’s no outsourcing, just jeans built tough.
Buck Mason
Buck Mason’s denim line is made by hand in Los Angeles. Although its fabric originates in Japan, all the work to actually craft the jeans, jackets and other denim happens right here in the U.S.
