The Zimbabwe is one of our sweetest selvedge denims, hands down. It's not about being flashy, it's about knowing you're wearing denim made from the finest cotton in the world. You feel it even in raw form, but seeing how this denim fades is a mind blower. Today you can and the fades and colors are simply beautiful.
The first question many denim connoisseurs ask us is "where is the cotton from?" The answer they're hoping for is Zimbabwe. Why is cotton from Zimbabwe so coveted? It's known for an extra long staple that gives it a legendary toughness combined with a soft feel. This 15.0oz example certainly gives credence to that. When we first got this fabric in we sewed a sample. It looked like a beautiful dark denim with a slight grey cast, almost like the Okayama Standard. You could see nice vertical grain and texture and classic red selvedge ID -- all great details. Then I put them on to take some photos. Usually I get out of sample pants quickly because, let's face it, raw denim requires some break-in and I look forward to putting on my own worn-in pair back on. With the Zimbabwe's, I kept them on. They just felt incredible. The fabric is heavy and dense, but it was comfortable. The back was smooth and I found them molding to my body really quickly. I wore them all day and have decided I may steal this sample for myself. The rarity of the cotton makes it very expensive, but it's worth it.

Customer Feedback on #107 THE ZIMBABWE
"I like them . Nice substancial denim . A bit tight , next time I will go up an inch on the waist . Overall very nice ."
-Ted M. | Verified Buyer
"Gustin does a great job of sourcing very unique and high-quality denims. I love the variety and choices available! Your website is great because you list all the little details, including fabric weight and exactly how the denim will look and feel. The raw denim takes a bit of time to break in, but it’s well worth it. I wish you offered a fit that is a cross between straight and slim. I need a little extra room in the thigh, but I would rather have a tapered leg down to a small ankle opening. Your shirts are cool, but the collar tab is annoying (always sticks straight out)and I wish you had a much shorter shirt that is designed to be worn untucked. Overall great company and I really look forward to the new denims that you source!"

"My first pair of Gustin. Originally the sizing was too small, though when I used Gustin’s sizing chart and instructions the fit was perfect. A really great pair of jeans and am complimented every time I wear them."
-Roger M. | Verified Buyer
"Great fit (they're not kidding folks...take your own measurements according to the Gustin Fit Guide's instructions before finalizing your order), and I'm looking forward to seeing how they wear in."
