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 have already given you my feedback on these jeans but I can’t say enough good about how well they fit and look. I will definitely be getting more of the 1968’s."
-Marty B. | 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
"This is my first purchase from your company. I’m in my first 2-3 weeks of breaking them in.
I find them beautifully made and I am looking forward to see the results after 6 months. I have purchased 3 more since and waiting for a 4th pair to open up"
-Raymond A. | Verified Buyer
"Most importantly the waist measured exactly as stated in your fit guide for W: 35. Straight fit was just what I expected and feels great. After one wash there was no measurable shrinkage in the waist and a little less than an inch in inseam. After one more wash I will get them hemmed. I’m very happy with my US woven and stitched 1968 jeans.
One note on design: Like Josh I carry my phone in my front pocket, which is just deep enough for my ageing SE 2 but a couple more inches of depth would be very useful for the current bigger phones."
"This salt & pepper plaid shirt is **** awesome. Fit, feel, and look are amazing! Best looking shirt I own. My wife gave me “the eye” when I walked into the kitchen wearing it. Thanks for making it!"
-Scott L. | Verified Buyer
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
"Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure that the pant fits me right. Can't thank you enough. This is what makes Gustin stand a part."
