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+.

Customer Feedback on THE 1968
"I am very satisfied with my 1968's which is aging beautifully. It deserves 5 stars."
-Rodolphe A. | Verified Buyer
"I like my 1968s! I’ve been wearing them 7 months and still breaking them in (not washed yet) but I love the weight and fit. Can’t wait to see how they look as they age."
-Jeff T. | Verified Buyer
"I am very happy with these jeans. They are already comfortable and the fit is great. I hope i get the opportunity to post my fade down the road."
-Tanner B. | Verified Buyer
"Size up two sizes. Lesson learned: I ignored Gustin’s recommendation and ordered my usual 33. Too small, but the exchange was quick and easy. My new pair arrived last week, and after a gentle prewash, hang dry (never the dryer), and a hem, they’re my new favorite jeans. The denim is rigid, just how I like it, with a deep, rich indigo. The low rise and full straight leg add a great new silhouette to my mostly slim and skinny denim wardrobe. They feel like something James Dean would have worn. I also appreciate that Gustin is an American brand; those are getting harder to find....I’ll be buying from Gustin again."
-Alfredo F. | Verified Buyer
