The Okayama Standard remains on top as our best selling Japanese selvedge denim of all time. Looking at the absolutely beautiful fades you get from it, the reason becomes pretty clear. Get started on yours today.
Gustin jeans made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from one of the finest mills in Japan. When we search for a perfect Japanese selvedge, we look for a few key things: solid weight, dark indigo start and the potential to wear to the perfect medium blue with great texture. We saw everything we liked in the Okayama Standard. This style is a very solid 14.5oz, starts out raw in a deep blue indigo and wears to the mythical medium blue we all want. The fade shots tell the story. The color is stunning, the grain amazing. It even has a great vertical grain when worn in. Throw in a very cool double stitch orange selvedge ID and this is a perfect, traditional Japanese denim. Made in the Okayama Prefecture, this one is perfect all around denim. You will receive a new pair of raw denim, not worn-in or distressed.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for much higher.

"This is the fabric that you recommend to people that are looking to get into selvedge denim. It is the perfect weight and is an excellent fader. This is my third pair of Okayama Standards. I have Slim, Straight and now a Vintage Straight. The Vintage Straight cut is my new favorite. I was looking for a straight that wasn’t too baggy or too tapered and that had a higher rise. This is the highest rise that Gustin offers and it is great. The rise is really the key aspect of this cut. It is so comfortable and offers excellent coverage. I’m excited to see these after they fade. I suspect they’ll age wonderfully, just like my other Okayamas."

"Love the deep, dark finish, I previously tried 36 in the straight but for this tried the 35 in the vintage straight fit, which I think I like a little better, a little less baggy in the thighs I think. Look forward to breaking them in."

"Fabric is amazing. Fit is ok. As always tricky to get wide enough for athletic legs without getting too wide a waist. Not sure I managed but initial fit is ok. About 5” too long tho as a result."

"Great quality denim here. Initially snug but stuck with them and they have loosened a good inch in the waist for me. These jeans are built to last. Happy customer!"
"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."
-Keith P. | Verified Buyer
"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
-Anne F. | 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."
