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+.

"Great pair of jeans, but:
I do not have wide hips. I'm skinny and pretty straight line. And something about the straight fit is every so slightly off. The waist is true to size and the leg opening is also correct but the bottom of the hip bone is tight. It's like the pant opens up an inch or so lower than it should. Otherwise perfect, but it's a slight demerit. The material and construction are obviously top notch."

"Bad= the weirdly tall fly buttons. Why so long? Good= cut and fit, the way jeans were meant to fit. Best=the denim. It has done the waist stretching and is starting to have the comfort and feel of old school jeans I used to wear.
Thought for the future: what about not going to the effort of hemming the pants? I’m a tall fellow and yet there must have been at least eight inches cut off when I had them hemmed. Just leave them raw?"

"Beautiful denim, hits the sweet spot for feel, sized up and it's a perfect fit on me."
-Joshua F. | Verified Buyer
"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."
