Today we're pairing a true selvedge denim icon with a totally new fit we call the Vintage Straight. You asked us for another fit option and we're excited for you to try this out. This is the Cone Mills 1968 in our all new Vintage Straight Fit.
Our new Vintage Straight fit is inspired by pre-1950s, classic denim fits. It's defined by a near dead straight line from top to bottom, notably higher rise front and back, roomy top block and fuller thigh and leg. It offers a distinct style option. If you're seeking a roomier fit, this style can work. If you currently enjoy our straight or slim fits, this style offers a more relaxed option in general.
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. 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. This is iconic denim at its best.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for $205+.

Customer Feedback on THE 1968 - VINTAGE STRAIGHT FIT
"Finally a cut with some room in the thighs. Nice slight taper for a truly straight leg for. They look great. Hope to see them in different fabrics"
-Thomas H. | Verified Buyer
"If you don’t start making more pants in this fit, I will be super disappointed. This fit gives just enough more room in the rise to make it super comfortable but not baggy looking or feeling. The other fits are just too tight in the rise for me."
-Jeremiah P. | Verified Buyer
"Great jeans, nice substantial weight. Cannot go wrong with these."
-Lee R. | Verified Buyer
"The high rise on these make them incredibly comfortable to wear at the hip. They are roomy but not too baggy. The denim itself is just the right weight and look and feel high quality. If you're looking for a daily, quality selvedge with a high rise that will look good and feel better, this is the one."
-James S. | Verified Buyer
