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
"Perfect."
-D'wayne T. | Verified Buyer
"Very impressed so far! I was worried about selecting the wrong size, but their recommendations for sizing were accurate. I’ve worn them for a week straight and can feel the jeans really conforming to my body. Can’t wait to see how they break in."
-Eric | Verified Buyer
"I had been wanting to buy a pair of selvedge denim jeans for some time, but I just couldn't justify the cost. When I found Gustin, I decided to try a pair of "The 1968" jeans and I'm glad I did. I have only had them a short time, but it is clear that they are made with the utmost care and attention to detail. The quality of the construction is evident straight away--much better than anything I have found in the big mall stores. I have since bought another pair of jeans and a shirt from Gustin, both of which are excellent. I only wish I had known about them sooner."
