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 like 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.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for $205+.

"I am very pleased with the 32 Slim sizing. Out the gate the waist was comfortable with no belt needed. After a week of wear I can feel the waist is relaxing, still don’t need a belt. The denim feels more premium than other designer selvedge I have purchased in the past. Previously I have the Rainbow nep selvedge in 31 slim and after a few washes they have shrunk and they are a little tight front rise and waist. I’m confident that the size 32 will hold up to shrinkage over time and still fit me."

"Love the deep, dark finish, I previously tried 36 in the straight but for this tried the 35 in the vintage straight fit, which I think I like a little better, a little less baggy in the thighs I think. Look forward to breaking them in."
-Kevin L. | Verified Buyer
"I was impressed with the thickness and sturdy feel of the denim. The break-in period is real, be ready for that. Mine are still loosening up and becoming more supple. Also go one or two inches above the waist size you wear in most pants.
Good looking jeans, and I have gotten several compliments on them already.
Would buy more, and have.

"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."
"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!"

"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."
