Vintage styling meets modern wearability in our new Japan Classic Stretch. This raw denim with a touch of stretch has become the hidden gem of our raw denim rotation. Finding this value from Japan leaves you with no excuses to experience this for yourself. 
At this point, we no longer need convincing. Having a raw selvedge denim with just a touch of stretch in your rotation is a must. It just has to be the right version. Here's what that looks like to us. From the outside, it should just look like absolute gold standard raw selvedge. Inky deep indigo warp. Crisp white weft. Classic show-through to brighten up the base color. We want a touch of starch for that crisp feel and subtle shine. An all-year wearable 12 ounce weight is ideal. Yes, you can't go wrong with a classic red selvedge ID. Just pure raw denim for the ages. Now, add just the tiniest bit of stretch and the change is truly one you must experience for yourself. That little bit of give changes the way you can move, right on day one. Comfort gets dialed way up and you'll simply look forward to wearing in this classic denim. This is the definition of having your cake and eating it too.

What Customers Are Saying
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott 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
