Levi’s cotton sources

I decided to spend a bit of my Xmas cash on some new jeans at the Levi’s outlet store. I picked up two pair of what are supposed to be identical Original 501s (100% cotton, $50/ea) but noticed that they are slightly different weights and textures. Checking the tag I see that the slightly lighter is made in Egypt and the slightly heavier is made in Mexico. I realize that Levi’s sources their cotton and manufactures in different places. I hear that the domestic ones are the best and the Chinese-made ones are usually the worst. I am curious if there is any consensus about which other countries produce the most durable 501s. How would y’all rank country of origin?
