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
"Beautiful denim and top shelf build quality. I own (too) many pairs of US-made jeans and these are as good as any of them and are a stone bargain comparatively. I wish these guys offered a hemming service, as I am not a fan of cuffed jeans, but I seem to be in the minority on that one. Other than that, high marks all around. These are gorgeous!"
-George W. | Verified Buyer
"Most importantly the waist measured exactly as stated in your fit guide for W: 35. Straight fit was just what I expected and feels great. After one wash there was no measurable shrinkage in the waist and a little less than an inch in inseam. After one more wash I will get them hemmed. I’m very happy with my US woven and stitched 1968 jeans. One note on design: Like Josh I carry my phone in my front pocket, which is just deep enough for my ageing SE 2 but a couple more inches of depth would be very useful for the current bigger phones."
-Paul B. | Verified Buyer
"These jeans are great! They have a great weight and beautiful color stitching."
-William S. | Verified Buyer
"This pair of jeans are the most comfy air of denim jeans I have ever owned! Because I needed to order a bigger waist size than I normally do, I had to get them hemmed. Fortunately, I have a dear friend that was able to hem them. I’m 5’10”, and found the 34” waist size to be the perfect fit for me!"
-David S. | Verified Buyer

What Customers Are Saying
"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!"
-Scott L. | Verified Buyer
"So grateful for this brand! Love the fit, finish, and quality of everything I've ever bought from here. Moreover, the pricing enables people like me to have access to quality goods which are often outside of the reach of the most working people."
-Joshua C. | Verified Buyer
"They arrived. And they are really special. I wore them all day yesterday and they were amazing. Now that I know how your stuff fits on my body, I can have a little more confidence ordering in the future. You have beautiful stuff."
