Check Freenote Cloth. Japanese Denim sewn in the USA. Best of both worlds.

Gustin & Tellason use the same factory to sew them and often use the same denim. Tellason's designs aren't worth the $100 upcharge from Gustin imo.

Most of the above are entry level nice denim imho. Have a look at selfedges webpage. You can filter for black denim. I would go for Sugarcane or maybe Pure blue japan depending on your budget and if you want a plainer weave or more textured.

If you want to spend money, Iron Heart has a double reactive dyed black denim that holds its color and won’t fade.
