A lot of denim heads are making their own denim jeans and products nowadays. No mass production, but limited editions. Created by themselves on their own sewing machine. This to create an item which is made by their own ideas and vision. They prefer the best quality to make a product that stands a lifetime. The most popular and authentic fabrics are the selvage qualities. But it’s always difficult to buy only a couple of meters from your favo mill. For those guys there is some good news! You can now buy fabrics from the legendary White Oak mill. The minimum order is 6 yards.
Most of the denim heads knows the White Oak mill from Cone Denim – US, but if not here’s some info about them. The mill was named for the 200 year old White Oak tree that stood nearby and served as a gathering place for people traveling to Greensboro from the surrounding countryside. Construction began in 1902 and the first bobbin of yarn was produced on April 20th, 1905. Still true to its heritage, the White Oak plant in Greensboro, NC, operates today as the denim flagship operation, serving as the center for product development and innovation, and the production of Cone Denim’s authentic premium vintage denims made exclusively in the USA.
