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 fit. I love these jeans. After I received my first pair I immediately ordered a second pair,"
-Bradford B. | Verified Buyer
"5 out of 5, hands down my favorite jeans to wear. I've already put a lot of miles on them and I love the mix of heaviness/durability and comfort."
-Garret W. | Verified Buyer
"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
"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

What Customers Are Saying

-Richard S. | Verified Buyer

-Joshua C. | 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
