like, say, when you're going gold mining

Depending on your own unique level of awareness, you've likely — at one time or another — checked out the ingredients list on the side of your food, your pet's food, your skin care, and maybe even your cosmetics. But what about your denim? 

As any denim-wearer will tell you, no two pairs of jeans are alike — and a lot of that is due to the material that goes into making them. And while there's a time and place for ultra stiff, traditional denim pants (like, say, when you're going gold mining?), by and large, the best jeans are those that are soft, comfortable, and flattering — the ones that hug your curves in all the right places and give your legs the freedom of full flexibility.
