What kind of decent quality Chinese brands are worth it?

I've tried Red Tornado which seems to stack up pretty well vs Japanese raw denim (I own several of both) at like half the price. Sketchy ethics wise (ripping other brands off, possible slave-picked cotton)

I've heard Bronson Mfg is good but I've never ordered from them - can anyone here attest to it?

Spier & McKay is pretty unbeatable for the price if you live in NA and don't need to pay shipping/duties although it's not really a Chinese brand but they make most of their stuff there (using usually Italian/British mills for the cloth).

Sadly they only make women's clothes - anyone know of ones for women? Or are you just doomed to overpriced polyester slop if you have XX chromosomes?

What about any others? I was looking at the following but no clue:

>ugentle
>no idea. only got 1 recommendation on reddit. looks decent but they don't mention what mills they use or anything. similar prices to S&M but without the great sales

>acme cultum
>looks possibly promising? just going off random recs on styleforum
>cultum
>above but 1/3 the price but almost all synthetics (100% avoiding) or 1/2 the price but no synthetics (if not just lying) so who knows

Share your recs please. Ideally no synthetics unless it makes sense
