As we often tend to talk about here in our Friday Find series, where we spotlight the unheralded and the ultra-stylish, it’s easy to say they don’t make ’em like they used to in matters of menswear and the best men’s style essentials.

Fewer brands deliver gear that’s made in America, especially categories that are tricky to master, like the best USA-made denim, with rugged appeal and stylish functionality — just like the original pairs of blue jeans worn as tried-and-true workwear.

And for durable denim with classic appeal, there’s one source (among others) your favorite Brooklyn style writer has his eyes on: Feast your own eyes on Bills Khakis, a brand with more than two decades of experience (and accolades from the likes of GQ) that delivers on the promise of the best American-made menswear.

That includes the Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim shown here, although you very well might know the brand instead for its classically made, fan-favorite khaki pants and shorts (hence the name of the company, after all). And these stylish light wash jeans — also available in deeper shades of blue — are ideal for spring, as well as remarkably well-made for long-lasting dependability regardless of season.

The Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim feature substantial but supple 12oz. cotton denim construction in a timeless five-pocket design, and as Bills notes, its jeans feature “vintage looks (that) are created with hand sanding work and stone-washing,” plus a Bills leather patch and vintage brass hardware for good measure.

Designed in a rich range of washes, including a seasonally friendly light wash design, these are dependable jeans made to be worn classically — with a white tee or a short-sleeve henley plus canvas sneakers, for instance. When given the chance to rock something as timeless as the Bills Khakis 5-Pocket Straight Fit Denim, I’d say you should take that opportunity in stride– particularly ahead of the all-American holiday that is Memorial Day weekend, my friends.
