The Okayama Standard remains on top as our best selling Japanese selvedge denim of all time. Looking at the absolutely beautiful fades you get from it, the reason becomes pretty clear. Get started on yours today.
Gustin jeans made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from one of the finest mills in Japan. When we search for a perfect Japanese selvedge, we look for a few key things: solid weight, dark indigo start and the potential to wear to the perfect medium blue with great texture. We saw everything we liked in the Okayama Standard. This style is a very solid 14.5oz, starts out raw in a deep blue indigo and wears to the mythical medium blue we all want. The fade shots tell the story. The color is stunning, the grain amazing. It even has a great vertical grain when worn in. Throw in a very cool double stitch orange selvedge ID and this is a perfect, traditional Japanese denim. Made in the Okayama Prefecture, this one is perfect all around denim. You will receive a new pair of raw denim, not worn-in or distressed.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for much higher.

"They arrive stiff as a board. Thick luscious denim. They will need a couple of months to break in. So In a couple of years I’ll be able to let you know how much I like the. My last pair( similiar denim ) are v worn and faded nicely down. But still retain the weight and have another 10 years in them. Expect these will be likewise. Excellent value. Most jeans that I bought (prior to Gustin)lasted a year."

"Took one return to get the right size , but once I got the right size they are perfect - the 14.5 oz is a great weight for any climate- the weave of the denim is tight so it doesn’t blow out - the straight cut is slightly roomy but not boxy, allows for range of motion great 50’s look rolled up and the rise is mid to high which really works for me - I’m usually a 31/ 32 but 33 - best fitting jeans I’ve ever had"

"This is the fabric that you recommend to people that are looking to get into selvedge denim. It is the perfect weight and is an excellent fader. This is my third pair of Okayama Standards. I have Slim, Straight and now a Vintage Straight. The Vintage Straight cut is my new favorite. I was looking for a straight that wasn’t too baggy or too tapered and that had a higher rise. This is the highest rise that Gustin offers and it is great. The rise is really the key aspect of this cut. It is so comfortable and offers excellent coverage. I’m excited to see these after they fade. I suspect they’ll age wonderfully, just like my other Okayamas."
"Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure that the pant fits me right. Can't thank you enough. This is what makes Gustin stand a part."
