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+.

"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!"

"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."
-John V. | Verified Buyer
"Perfect jean. Denim is solid, fades to a perfect blue. On my second pair now, moved to a straight fit. Sized up for a much more comfortable fit. Have gifted two pair to friends now as the price is just right. American denim too!"
