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
"I received my 68's a couple weeks ago. Trust the fit guide on waist measurement. I had mine hemmed due to the 36 inch inseam as I'm a 32 and not big on the cuffed look ( at least not as much cuff as I needed for the right length). Looking forward to getting them broke in and a nice fade going. Trying to hold off on the first wash!"
-Chad S. | 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."
-Michael H. | 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
"Great looking pair of jeans! My first raw pair and very happy with them"
