This is my second pair of black denim. Although I love my Helmut Lang black jeans, they're a bit stiff. I got these on sale from HTC for $150 shipped. Good deal, I think.
I have a pair of Tsubi and I think they are the best. I'm not qualified to judge the quality but the fit is awesome. Very slim without being confining or exaggerated. And they are jet black, no grey tones.
