Somewhere along the line, it was decided that really great denim had to be really expensive. These companies are proving that notion wrong. All of these jeans cost around $100 (not cheap, but probably appropriately priced) and not only are they sewn fairly, they are each offering a little bit more in the way of fair fabric!
Industry Standard :: fabric milled + sewn in USA
Patagonia :: fair-trade certified sewing, 98% organic cotton
Taylor Stitch :: cone mills denim sourced in the USA, made in California
As always, the fairest denim of them all is already in our closets or maybe at a thrift store nearby. I have been lucky enough to find my last two pairs of jeans at thrift stores. But these are good choices too! (That last Taylor Stitch pair even has an elastic waist.) ;)
Update :: 3-29-18 Taylor Stitch is no longer making women's clothing, but look for a used pair.

P.S. More fair jeans here.
