I've got the BraveStar 21 oz and can vouch that it is a well made BEAST.

Brave Star 21oz selvedge is the best bang for buck.
Agreed.
Someone like Ciano Farmer can make you a really nice denim jacket with a lot of options and extras to choose from if you have the money and the patience (not once have I received my order when it was promised). At the end of the day you will probably be just as happy with a Brave Star off the rack.

Highest quality is subjective to what you consider quality personally, be it denim weight and construction, durability, design, period accuracy reproduction, etc. Anything above 15oz denim will be quite hard wearing.

The top brands are all mostly in the same level as they’re somewhat niche.
Check the online retailers Okayama denim or Denimio for Japanese brands. Iron Heart is of course a top tier as well.
For US brands check Railcar Fine Goods, Rogue Territory, or Freenote Clothing.

Another more affordable brand to really consider is Unbranded, an off-shoot of Canadian denim heavy weights Naked and Famous. Their denim jacket is top quality and much cheaper.

I personally really like the Spanish brand Companion Denim, a boutique style quality denim brand with really cool stuff.
