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+.
*Note unlike most brands we don't use vanity sizing for our pants. If you're a first time customer we highly recommend checking out our fit guide.

Customer Feedback on THE 1968
"Love these, but want them in BLACK PLEASE!?!"
-Kelly B. | Verified Buyer
"Fantastic jeans!!! Length was somewhat long but not a deal breaker. Will definitely buy again."
-Eduardo C. | Verified Buyer
"These jeans are beautiful. I really love the look and feel of the 1968 denim, and I think these pants look really great on. They sit a little lower on the waist and tighter in the seat than I thought, which I'm not excited about, but I know that they will fit better as I wear them in, and they are already feeling better than when I first put them on. I just need to put my phone in a jacket pocket if I'm sitting."
-Dominick G. | Verified Buyer
"The 1968 was my first purchase from Gustin. Exceptional quality of the materials, beautiful craftsmanship make this a favorite. I've worn them for nearly two weeks and they are wearing in very well. Cannot wait for the Red Fire! Looking forward to acquiring more products in the future."
