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
"Bang for buck these are a great pair of selvedge jeans added bonus they are USA made! My only complaint is the length I have selvedge jeans from other companies and I was able to order in my normal length, I’m 5’10 and I looked like a toddler wearing his dads jeans 🤣 had to take them to the tailor for a proper fit. All and all an excellent product I would recommend."
-Ryan A. | 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
"Jeans are great at good price. Will buy more, had to buy size up from normal size"
-David H. | Verified Buyer
"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!"

What Customers Are Saying
"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
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
"So grateful for this brand! Love the fit, finish, and quality of everything I've ever bought from here. Moreover, the pricing enables people like me to have access to quality goods which are often outside of the reach of the most working people."
-Joshua C. | Verified Buyer
