Strongman 14oz 'Bayou Blue' Vidalia Mills USA Selvage Denim Jean
$138.00
Vidalia Mills USA Dead Stock!
UPDATE: Another American mill down. Vidalia Mills—once hailed as the heir to Cone Mills and a last stand for domestic selvage—has shuttered. Opened in 2019 with promises of revival, it was supposed to carry the torch. Unfortunately, the idea that globalism can promote local economies is false in practice and the stark reality is that it carves them out and slowly destroys them.
Fabric
This is it. The last American-made selvage denim to ever roll off the legendary Draper X3 looms.
Woven at Vidalia Mills, once the final home of these historic looms after Cone Mills shut its doors, this denim marks the end of an era. With Vidalia now shuttered, these are the final yards of true American selvage. No more will be made.
Each pair is built from the last of its kind. 100% made in the USA. Rope-dyed, ring-spun, and woven with pride. Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
Own a piece of American textile history, crafted to outlast trends, and maybe even you.
