#586 GUSTIN X Vidalia Superlight

When the famous Cone Mills White Oak plant in Greensboro shut down, Vidalia Mills stepped in to keep the tradition of authentic American made selvedge denim alive. All the building blocks for a quintessential, raw selvedge are here, with the addition of quality and authenticity. It starts with certified, sustainably grown American cotton. This core building block is transformed by vintage Draper X3 shuttle looms, previously used by Cone Mills, that were lovingly re-energized by Vidalia in their Louisiana factory. This time, the output is a wearable, 10 ounce gold-standard raw selvedge denim. A bit less starch combined with the lighter weight makes for comfort on day one and versatility for all-year use. The surface is a bit hairy, lending a rustic look and feel. The indigo warp is a bit lighter in color, lending the overall surface an almost grey cast. This is classic American made selvedge that never goes out of style. Of course, we add in construction right in the USA and the unmatched value.
