A true selvedge denim icon - this is the Cone Mills 1968. The most you can ask from a great selvedge denim is that it starts out beautiful and gets even better over time. As you can see from this well worn pair, the 1968 absolutely delivers.
Gustin jeans made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from Cone Mills. The 1968 was somewhat of a premium denim company darling. It was used by many and there's a reason for it. It sneaks up on you. It seems unassuming at first, but when you see the beautifully rich indigo shade and crisply starched raw feel you know you're touching classic quality. 20oz denim is cool. Super light denim is fun too. Let's face it, the 13.5oz sweet spot is a winner. It works year round and that's what you get in the 1968 - it has great body. We used this fabric as we were developing the skinny fit and knew we had to get our hands on more than just sample yardage. This is authentic, classic selvedge denim at its best.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for $205+.

"I was apprehensive about ordering from abroad but I am delighted with my 1968s.
The sizing is true and they are a great fit. Thank you!"
-Chris W. | Verified Buyer
"I first soaked these jeans in hot water, let them drip dry, and wore the damp jeans all day. Since then, I've worn them to work every day. While it's only been a week, I can feel the denim mold to my body more and more daily. They are slowly loosening up in the tighter places and remaining stiff in others, which is exactly what I wanted.
The 1968 are already my favorite jeans. I expect to love them more as they continue to break in."
-Chandler C. | Verified Buyer
"So far, the 1968 Straight Fit (36" waist) are head and shoulders the highest quality jeans I've ever had. I've only worn them a few times, but I expect many years of reliable service. The sizing chart was remarkably accurate, and I'm already planning to order a few more pairs and back a few campaigns. I'm tall and thin and very thankful for the 36" inseam in a high quality, stylish, affordable, American-made product. You've made a repeat customer out of me. Thanks!"
