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
"Very satisfied with the quality of materials and construction, will likely get another pair in a heavier weight once these are broken in."
-David I. | Verified Buyer
"Bang for buck these are a great pair of selvedge jeans added bonus they are USA made! My only complaint is the length I have selvedge jeans from other companies and I was able to order in my normal length, I’m 5’10 and I looked like a toddler wearing his dads jeans 🤣 had to take them to the tailor for a proper fit. All and all an excellent product I would recommend."
-Ryan A. | Verified Buyer
"Great creasing after two weeks wear, I chose not to cuff, so a touch long for my liking. Quickly becoming my new favorite pair, however I’m a slim guy and I find the slim fit a bit tight in the hips/pockets, IPhone is definitely back pocket in these. I ordered my next pair in regular fit to see if they’re any better."
-Dustin T. | Verified Buyer
"The best quality pants ever purchased! The care for every thread in this article of clothing is unparalleled and it shows. I will never buy another brand again."
-Laura A. | Verified Buyer

What Customers Are Saying
"Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure that the pant fits me right. Can't thank you enough. This is what makes Gustin stand a part."
-Lauren C. | 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
"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
