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 first pair of selvedge denim - and the best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. The value is incredible. I love the crowdfunding concept. I can’t wait to place my next order!"
-Ted L. | Verified Buyer
"This is the 4th pair of Gustins I've owned. I bought 3 pair about 8 years ago, and wore the heck out of them for 6 years, until they were absolutely falling apart. So I just ordered another pair, the 1968, and they are everything I remember about my first Gustins. After only wearing them for 2 weeks, they are already breaking in and sizing up a bit, and getting much more comfortable. I've received so many compliments on them already, they are a fantastic company that makes high quality, affordable products. My only wish is that they would print the name of the fabric on the inside pocket, like they do the other information. I would have loved to use my old 3 pairs for a reference on what material to buy, but I have no recollection of what those fabrics were from 8 years ago."
-Adam K. | Verified Buyer
"I am very satisfied with my 1968's which is aging beautifully. It deserves 5 stars."
-Rodolphe A. | Verified Buyer
"Jeans are great at good price. Will buy more, had to buy size up from normal size"
