It wasn't. I wasn't aware there was an operating selvedge denim mill in the United State after Cone went out of business. I'll look more into Visalia Mills.Was Vidalia Mills ever considered for sourcing denim?
We shopped for a denim partner for nearly a year (including taking a trip to Paris for Premiere Vision to meet with multiple candidates). In the end, we were between a mill in Italy and a few in Japan. But ultimately chose a Japanese partner because of their high quality and consistency in manufacturing. An extremely important aspect for us was the ability to maintain a consistent/predictable shrinkage across production rolls in order to more reliably/consistently hit spec (and repeat washes). Which we found in our partner.
