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
"Love these, but want them in BLACK PLEASE!?!"
-Kelly B. | Verified Buyer
"I received my 68's a couple weeks ago. Trust the fit guide on waist measurement. I had mine hemmed due to the 36 inch inseam as I'm a 32 and not big on the cuffed look ( at least not as much cuff as I needed for the right length). Looking forward to getting them broke in and a nice fade going. Trying to hold off on the first wash!"
-Chad S. | 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."
-John V. | Verified Buyer
"Love the jeans. The material and fit are great. However the outside seam on the right leg is sewn slightly towards the front causing the pant leg to twist inward."
-Brian W. | Verified Buyer

"Never thought I would find a denim company that I feel like is a community."
-Richard S. | Verified Buyer
"This salt & pepper plaid shirt is **** awesome. Fit, feel, and look are amazing! Best looking shirt I own. My wife gave me “the eye” when I walked into the kitchen wearing it. Thanks for making it!"
-Scott L. | Verified Buyer
"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."
