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
"This pair of jeans are the most comfy air of denim jeans I have ever owned! Because I needed to order a bigger waist size than I normally do, I had to get them hemmed. Fortunately, I have a dear friend that was able to hem them. I’m 5’10”, and found the 34” waist size to be the perfect fit for me!"
-David S. | Verified Buyer
"Beautiful denim and top shelf build quality. I own (too) many pairs of US-made jeans and these are as good as any of them and are a stone bargain comparatively. I wish these guys offered a hemming service, as I am not a fan of cuffed jeans, but I seem to be in the minority on that one. Other than that, high marks all around. These are gorgeous!"
-George W. | Verified Buyer
"Perfect jeans. The material is a bit heavy and has a feel of quality and substance, while also being immediately comfortable. Best pair of jeans I've bought since the japanmidnight broken twill pair i previously bought. Hands down Gustin makes the best men's jeans on the planet"
-Justin B. | Verified Buyer
"Great looking pair of jeans! My first raw pair and very happy with them"
-Eric C. | Verified Buyer
