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
"My second pair of Gustins. Best jeans ever."
-Doug O. | 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
"Perfect."
-D'wayne T. | Verified Buyer
"Love the jeans. The material and fit are great. However the outside seam on the right leg is sewn slightly towards the front causing the pant leg to twist inward."
-Brian W. | 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."
-Lauren C. | 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
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
