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+.

"Size up two sizes. Lesson learned: I ignored Gustin’s recommendation and ordered my usual 33. Too small, but the exchange was quick and easy.
My new pair arrived last week, and after a gentle prewash, hang dry (never the dryer), and a hem, they’re my new favorite jeans. The denim is rigid, just how I like it, with a deep, rich indigo. The low rise and full straight leg add a great new silhouette to my mostly slim and skinny denim wardrobe.
They feel like something James Dean would have worn. I also appreciate that Gustin is an American brand; those are getting harder to find....I’ll be buying from Gustin again."

"I am very satisfied with my 1968's which is aging beautifully. It deserves 5 stars."
-Rodolphe A. | Verified Buyer
"This was my first Gustin purchase and I love them! I ordered the slim fit, size 34 and they are perfect.
I have already funded another Gustin project."
-Hunter J. | Verified Buyer
"I have already given you my feedback on these jeans but I can’t say enough good about how well they fit and look. I will definitely be getting more of the 1968’s."
