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.

"The jeans are of good quality and it is impoetnat to follow there advice on sizing. I wear 34x36 Levi’s but ordered 36x36 Gustin. Fit is good. I got complements on them asking me what is the brand. Looking forward to seeing how they wear over time. I hope they are great"

"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."

"These jeans are great! They have a great weight and beautiful color stitching."
-William S. | Verified Buyer
"Most importantly the waist measured exactly as stated in your fit guide for W: 35. Straight fit was just what I expected and feels great. After one wash there was no measurable shrinkage in the waist and a little less than an inch in inseam. After one more wash I will get them hemmed. I’m very happy with my US woven and stitched 1968 jeans.
One note on design: Like Josh I carry my phone in my front pocket, which is just deep enough for my ageing SE 2 but a couple more inches of depth would be very useful for the current bigger phones."
