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
"This is my first purchase from your company. I’m in my first 2-3 weeks of breaking them in. I find them beautifully made and I am looking forward to see the results after 6 months. I have purchased 3 more since and waiting for a 4th pair to open up"
-Raymond A. | 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
"So far, the 1968 Straight Fit (36" waist) are head and shoulders the highest quality jeans I've ever had. I've only worn them a few times, but I expect many years of reliable service. The sizing chart was remarkably accurate, and I'm already planning to order a few more pairs and back a few campaigns. I'm tall and thin and very thankful for the 36" inseam in a high quality, stylish, affordable, American-made product. You've made a repeat customer out of me. Thanks!"
-Jason F. | Verified Buyer
"American sewn jeans made with what could be the last of American Cone selvedge denim. I now have 4 pairs of the 1968. They fit true to size (no vanity sizing) and I wear the straight cut; which fit well over my cowboy boots. I have an athletic build (6'00", 180lbs, 33 waist, lean) and the seat and thighs, while fitted, give me the room I need (I could never wear skinny or low rise jeans) while being flattering. Amazing value."

What Customers Are Saying
"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
"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."
-Anne F. | 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
