Now read on to find out more about the best jean brands that are made to make you feel comfortable and edgy.

  1. Levi Strauss & Co. Founded in 1853, Levi Strauss is one of the best jean brands due to its long tradition of creating quality denim products. The company began when Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss reached a business deal producing denim jeans for workers who engaged in heavy menial work.
