This week's Buyer's Guide is dedicated to the vast and beautiful, and sometimes confusing, world of raw denim. If you guys haven't yet checked out our Beginner's Guide to Raw Denim, you might want to head over there to read up on the basics. If you feel confident enough or just don't give a damn, go on and take a look at our carefully selected range of denim jeans. Our focus lies mainly on up-and-coming American brands. However, we also included some of our Japanese and French favorites.

Williamsburg Garment Company - Hope Street Made in USA

With affordable denim in mind, Williamsburg Garments Company launched the Hope Street skinny fit jeans as the first model of its Made in USA collection. Despite featuring premium quality 12oz denim fabric woven in North Carolina, and unique details such as American flag print pocket bags, the jeans are reasonably priced at $124.

A.P.C. - New Standard Straight-Fit Dry Denim Jeans

Saint Laurent - Black Raw Denim Jeans
