I've read alot from this site about what ringring denim is and how the quality is supposed to be better. I have a question though: what brand makes ringring denim, are they hard to find?

Virtually all brands from Gap upwards use ringring denim these days. I've even heard spectulation that one day OE denim will become as 'rare' as shuttle loom denim, because many mills got rid of their OE machines.

Ringring is very common. Just take a look next time you're shopping.

Thanks for your response. Is there any quick way to see whether a fabric is ringring or not? like how dense or thick the denim is or the way it's woven, that you can quickly tell?

Look at the yarns - a quick indication would be uneveness/slubs in both the blue yarns & the ecru yarns. Check the blue yarns (the warp) by looking at the jeans from the front, and then look at the underside of the fabric to see the ecru yarns (the weft).
