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
"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."

"Fantastic jeans!!! Length was somewhat long but not a deal breaker. Will definitely buy again."
-Eduardo C. | Verified Buyer
"Love the jeans. The material and fit are great. However the outside seam on the right leg is sewn slightly towards the front causing the pant leg to twist inward."
-Brian W. | Verified Buyer
"This was my first Gustin purchase and I love them! I ordered the slim fit, size 34 and they are perfect. I have already funded another Gustin project."

"This salt & pepper plaid shirt is **** awesome. Fit, feel, and look are amazing! Best looking shirt I own. My wife gave me “the eye” when I walked into the kitchen wearing it. Thanks for making it!"
-Scott L. | 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
"Your great quality product and customer service are reasons I've been a long time customer and will continue to do so."
