Rogans are nice and Edwin do some lovely washes too particularly on the 13oz 505/503 RV range.

Here's a suggestion for a pair of washed jeans from a brand that's not talked about much here: Hysteric Glamour.

I don't know the style number, but it's a light blue 'vintage-501 repro' style jeans, with a row of pyramid studs on the edge of the front pockets (which you could probably take off if they bothered you).

The wash is superb. One of the best vintage washes I've seen. A LOT better than some 'vintage' wash jeans at much higher prices. In fact my first reaction was to think that they had just bought a pair of real second-hand jeans and added new labels and studs - until I saw several identical pairs in a row. The colour was very convincing, with subtle, natural looking whiskers etc. They are also selvedge (ecru selvage - perhaps started as redline selvedge, with the red washing out - like real LEvi's).

A very well executed example of that genre.

Otherwise, for non-global brand washed jeans try Eternal, Pure Blue, Pherrows, Warehouse etc.
