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+.

"Bad= the weirdly tall fly buttons. Why so long? Good= cut and fit, the way jeans were meant to fit. Best=the denim. It has done the waist stretching and is starting to have the comfort and feel of old school jeans I used to wear.
Thought for the future: what about not going to the effort of hemming the pants? I’m a tall fellow and yet there must have been at least eight inches cut off when I had them hemmed. Just leave them raw?"

"This pair of jeans are the most comfy air of denim jeans I have ever owned! Because I needed to order a bigger waist size than I normally do, I had to get them hemmed. Fortunately, I have a dear friend that was able to hem them. I’m 5’10”, and found the 34” waist size to be the perfect fit for me!"
-David S. | 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
"Great fit. I love these jeans. After I received my first pair I immediately ordered a second pair,"
"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
"Just wanted to thank you for the jeans. I had high hopes and yet these exceed my expectations! I love the fabric, and I love the fit and construction. Nice, nice work."
-Jeffrey S. | Verified Buyer
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
