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
"They Look Great! Love The Feel, And Fit!"
-Matthew R. | Verified Buyer
"This is my first purchase from your company. I’m in my first 2-3 weeks of breaking them in. I find them beautifully made and I am looking forward to see the results after 6 months. I have purchased 3 more since and waiting for a 4th pair to open up"
-Raymond A. | 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
"I like my 1968s! I’ve been wearing them 7 months and still breaking them in (not washed yet) but I love the weight and fit. Can’t wait to see how they look as they age."
-Jeff T. | Verified Buyer

What Customers Are Saying
"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
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
"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!"
