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
"Great pair of jeans, but: I do not have wide hips. I'm skinny and pretty straight line. And something about the straight fit is every so slightly off. The waist is true to size and the leg opening is also correct but the bottom of the hip bone is tight. It's like the pant opens up an inch or so lower than it should. Otherwise perfect, but it's a slight demerit. The material and construction are obviously top notch."
-Dov F. | Verified Buyer
"Very satisfied with the quality of materials and construction, will likely get another pair in a heavier weight once these are broken in."
-David I. | Verified Buyer
"I am very satisfied with my 1968's which is aging beautifully. It deserves 5 stars."
-Rodolphe A. | Verified Buyer
"Perfect."

What Customers Are Saying
"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."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
"So grateful for this brand! Love the fit, finish, and quality of everything I've ever bought from here. Moreover, the pricing enables people like me to have access to quality goods which are often outside of the reach of the most working people."
-Joshua C. | Verified Buyer
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
