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+.

"I love these jeans! The attention to detail with the red stitching in just the rights places and blue across the back pocket is really cool. I am not necessarily a slim build but I prefer the way the taper of that cut fits me. I was concerned when I first put them on as I didn't think I was going to be able to button them up, but as your website says they will be uncomfortable at first. I have been wearing them pretty much everyday for a week, and they feel great. I practically live in these jeans now. I love the natural color, but cant wait to see the fading over time. Amazing Jeans!"

"As a regular selvedge/heritage/Japanese denim guy, I bought these to give Gustin a try. Wow, was I blown away by the value, the denim, the construction and the fit. These jeans have made me a regular customer. Awesome jeans."

"Most importantly the waist measured exactly as stated in your fit guide for W: 35. Straight fit was just what I expected and feels great. After one wash there was no measurable shrinkage in the waist and a little less than an inch in inseam. After one more wash I will get them hemmed. I’m very happy with my US woven and stitched 1968 jeans.
One note on design: Like Josh I carry my phone in my front pocket, which is just deep enough for my ageing SE 2 but a couple more inches of depth would be very useful for the current bigger phones."
-Paul B. | Verified Buyer
"Needless to say, any pair of Cone is an instant classic, and the 1968 sits right in the wearability - ruggedness - look sweet spot. I settled for the straight fit to pair them with cowboy boots. The match is perfect, and highlights the superb Gustin's straight cut. I do own slim straights, too, which I love pairing with boots and sneakers. Both fits suit me well, but there's something very appealing about Gustin's straight cut in terms of comfort."
