Blue Cult jeans

I've not really dabbled in ALL the "cult" jeans, but Blue Cult fits me best. The line came soon on the heels of Earl Jeans, and was soon overtaken in prestige by Sevens (Sevens fit the average body type far better). The line is designed by French designer David Mechaly (who worked on those hip-hugging Charlie's Angels jeans in the 70s) and his wife, Caroline Athias. They tend to be slim fit, so girls with curves should opt for a size up (if the brand's biggest fans are the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz, you might as well figure they're for skinny girls). I size up, anyway, though I'm petite (short legs and a small waist-to-hip ratio). I'm a size 4 and wear 28. They need to be hemmed, but every pair of pants I ever own need to be hemmed, so I don't really mind.
The fit is superb. There's no gapping at the waist, it fits smoothly around the waist, and of course, there's the famous "butt-lifter" effect. Since my legs are so short, I'm not a fan of the shaped, but it also comes in straight styles. The fit is just perfect. I find Citizens and Sevens too loose, Joe's Jeans far too loose, I haven't the legs to pull off Paper Denim & Cloth, etc, etc. The denim is high-quality. It doesn't lose color easily, and it doesn't lose shape, either. A bit of stretch makes it forgiving, but it bounces back to its original cut. There's a variety of novelty finishes as well as more classic finishes (I prefer the latter). They're expensive, but I can usually find them resale for quite a lot cheaper. They're just great... One wears jeans all the time, it's wonderful not having to worry whether they look good. Ever.
