Hey there I founded denim factory here in LA and when I get new clients they ask me all the time what kind of denim do I choose. It is all about what you like and what properties one wants in their jeans. Color, indigo, grey brown, country of origin, etc. Personally I love japanese fabrics, they have a huge range of fashion forward materials and colors. Cone is great for your standard indigo. Also you have to realize where you can get the denim. Selvage is also an amazing material and you can get really creative on where to put the selvage line detail. Here is my one tip when having a tailor make your jeans, make sure they have the proper threat weight, for denim top stitching should be no less than a tex-80. Also ideally they should have a flat felled seam machine and a key hole buttonhole for authentic denim. As well as a kick press to apply the rivets and buttons, if they are hammered in they will have a high fail rate.
