AG jeans are the brand I wore for a long time. They fit great and flatter me right out of the box, no tailoring required.
But the material is a bit thinner and doesn't hold up as well as raw denim. However, raw denim is a bit more of an investment. It takes 2 weeks of constant wear for raw denim to feel "right", and you're supposed to buy undersized and let them stretch to your body. Once you do that, they're really nice. However, before that happens, it's like wearing a lower body straitjacket.
