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
"Jeans are great at good price. Will buy more, had to buy size up from normal size"
-David H. | Verified Buyer
"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
"Great fit. I love these jeans. After I received my first pair I immediately ordered a second pair,"
-Bradford B. | Verified Buyer
"The 1968 selvedge jeans is the very first product I ordered from Gustin. I'm very impressed by its quality and construction. The fit is perfect for me. It is exactly as described in its sizing chart. There's no discernible shrinkage after the first wash. And price-wise, it's the best value I got for my money. No doubt, I'm very satisfied with the product. It's been only a month since I got my first pair, I've ordered my second one, the pricier Japanese Red Fire denim. I can hardly wait for it. More power to you guys!"
-Eleazar P. | Verified Buyer

-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
