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
"Great looking pair of jeans! My first raw pair and very happy with them"
-Eric C. | 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 was apprehensive about ordering from abroad but I am delighted with my 1968s. The sizing is true and they are a great fit. Thank you!"
-Chris W. | Verified Buyer
"Great creasing after two weeks wear, I chose not to cuff, so a touch long for my liking. Quickly becoming my new favorite pair, however I’m a slim guy and I find the slim fit a bit tight in the hips/pockets, IPhone is definitely back pocket in these. I ordered my next pair in regular fit to see if they’re any better."
-Dustin T. | Verified Buyer
