I'll start by being honest - I'm not a denim head. But what I am is obsessed with quality clothing. I've recently begun working on a new order with one of my tailors, for a pair of custom jeans. I'm super excited, as there aren't many tailors who can do jeans well.
After a bit of research, I'm obviously going selvedge and raw. But here's where I'm stuck? How do I choose a denim fabric? I've done a ton of searching and can't find a comprehensive ranking or comparison of the best available fabrics or mills.
Your help appreciated!

Custom jeans - raw denim ranking?

This is technically true, but not very useful. Yes, I could spend many hours and days reading denim forums and blogs to develop a deep and personal understanding of denim. But why should that be necessary? This kind of response will drive away the vast majority of people. All I'm asking for is a basic guide or comparison of some high quality raw denim fabrics, even if it's as simple as:
- A, great texture, not as durable.
- B, solid all around, best bang for your buck
- C, often considered the best but very overpriced.
- D, overhyped, don't bother.
Your signature reads, "to a denimhead, the journey is the destination." I began this thread by saying I am NOT a denim head (yet!). I'm asking for some collective denimhead wisdom, so that I can enjoy some kick-ass jeans.
