What are the top 10 denim brands?

There's no official list, but our scored ranking of vintage focused brands puts AMO Denim first, followed by Levi's, AGOLDE, Buck Mason, RE/DONE, Citizens of Humanity, TWP, MOTHER, Still Here and SLVRLAKE. Each brand earned up to 100 points across pattern fidelity, fabric, construction, fit range, aging, heritage and value. AMO Denim, Levi's and AGOLDE take the top three spots, separated by six points in total.

The scores are editorial judgments, not lab tests. The guide also admits where AMO Denim loses: to Levi's on pattern and heritage, and to Buck Mason on fabric and value. Shop AMO Denim's Best Sellers to see why the Billie leads the line.
