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+.

Customer Feedback on THE 1968
"The 1968 was my first purchase from Gustin. Exceptional quality of the materials, beautiful craftsmanship make this a favorite. I've worn them for nearly two weeks and they are wearing in very well. Cannot wait for the Red Fire! Looking forward to acquiring more products in the future."
-Michael H. | Verified Buyer
"I had been wanting to buy a pair of selvedge denim jeans for some time, but I just couldn't justify the cost. When I found Gustin, I decided to try a pair of "The 1968" jeans and I'm glad I did. I have only had them a short time, but it is clear that they are made with the utmost care and attention to detail. The quality of the construction is evident straight away--much better than anything I have found in the big mall stores. I have since bought another pair of jeans and a shirt from Gustin, both of which are excellent. I only wish I had known about them sooner."
-Nathan M. | Verified Buyer
"I absolutely love my 1968’s. They are the perfect retro denim and so far the fit is excellent. I haven’t washed them yet, so that will be an adventure, but I’m sure I will figure that out."
-Peter H. | Verified Buyer
"My first Gustin. I bought the Vintage Straight fit. Very good fabric, perfect weight for all seasons. Stitches are very nice. I would definitely give a five star if the front two pockets are a little deeper. The fact is, I can’t really sit down with my iPhone in the pocket. This kind of shallow front pockets are very typical of Japanese made jeans, but I didn’t expect that from a pair of American jeans."

What Customers Are Saying
"Your great quality product and customer service are reasons I've been a long time customer and will continue to do so."
-Sean S. | 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."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
