The Okayama Standard remains on top as our best selling Japanese selvedge denim of all time. Looking at the absolutely beautiful fades you get from it, the reason becomes pretty clear. Get started on yours today.
Gustin jeans made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from one of the finest mills in Japan. When we search for a perfect Japanese selvedge, we look for a few key things: solid weight, dark indigo start and the potential to wear to the perfect medium blue with great texture. We saw everything we like in the Okayama Standard. This style is a very solid 14.5oz, starts out raw in a deep blue indigo and wears to the mythical medium blue we all want. The fade shots tell the story. The color is stunning, the grain amazing. It even has a great vertical grain when worn in. Throw in a very cool double stitch orange selvedge ID and this is a perfect, traditional Japanese denim. Made in the Okayama Prefecture, this one is perfect all around denim.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for $205+.

"Love the deep, dark finish, I previously tried 36 in the straight but for this tried the 35 in the vintage straight fit, which I think I like a little better, a little less baggy in the thighs I think. Look forward to breaking them in."

"The standard for a reason. Has all the beautiful imperfections that give character. You can feel the purpose of each stitch (not just flat decorations like in most brands), which provides an excellent body sense (ie. What my body shape could be).
Break in took a week of wear after initial wash, about half inch expansion at waist (I'm overweight). Fading is juust starting after a couple months office wear, but i can already feel the whiskers are going to be beautiful. If only every pair of Gustin jeans could match this level."

"I am very pleased with the 32 Slim sizing. Out the gate the waist was comfortable with no belt needed. After a week of wear I can feel the waist is relaxing, still don’t need a belt. The denim feels more premium than other designer selvedge I have purchased in the past. Previously I have the Rainbow nep selvedge in 31 slim and after a few washes they have shrunk and they are a little tight front rise and waist. I’m confident that the size 32 will hold up to shrinkage over time and still fit me."

"All my gustin jeans are the best. Quality and fit are perfect. I’m 70 years old and I don’t wear any other jeans. They are really the best all the way around!!!"
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."
-Keith P. | Verified Buyer
"Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure that the pant fits me right. Can't thank you enough. This is what makes Gustin stand a part."
