Cone Mills White Oak denim plant in Greensboro, NC, closed on December 31st, 2017 after having been in continuous operation for 110 years.
It was the last selvedge denim mill in the United States, and used vintage 1940's Draper X-3 looms to produce denim just as they'd done back then.
Not surprisingly, Cone Mills White Oak denim is now highly sought-after, with used items made from it sometimes fetching more than they did when they were new--even if they were new just last year!
I'm thus very pleased to offer not only a pair of jeans in White Oak denim, but a pair of classic Levis 501s.... and, moreover, a pair in rare British Khaki White Oak denim!
These are in excellent condition. Tagged 34/36 they measure:
Waist: 17
Inseam: 33 1/2
(These are unlikely to shrink further.)
Asking just $39, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.... a bargain for classic jeans cut from with classic American denim made just as it was in the '40s!
