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
"Excellent in every way. Fit suggestion from Gustin was spot on. Denim and make quality are exceptional. At this price, a hell if a bargain."
-Chris K. | Verified Buyer
"Perfect jeans. The material is a bit heavy and has a feel of quality and substance, while also being immediately comfortable. Best pair of jeans I've bought since the japanmidnight broken twill pair i previously bought. Hands down Gustin makes the best men's jeans on the planet"
-Justin B. | Verified Buyer
"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
"Jeans are great at good price. Will buy more, had to buy size up from normal size"
