THE WHITE OAK PLANT HAS NOW CEASED ALL PRODUCTION, AND THE LAST PRODUCTION RUNS OF AMERICAN SELVEDGE DENIM ROLLED OFF THE LOOMS AT THE END OF 2017.
AMERICAN SELVEDGE FABRIC AND SPECIFICALLY THE WHITE OAK PLANT BEGAN WAY BACK IN 1905. WITH THE DEMAND FOR DENIM WORKWEAR EXPLODING IN THE US; THE CONE BROTHERS MOSES AND CEASAR EMBARKED ON WHAT WOULD BE A TRULY MAGICAL JOURNEY. AFTER THE FORMATION OF THE CONE EXPORT & COMMISSION COMPANY IN 1891, INSPIRED BY A 200-YEAR-OLD TREE THAT GREW IN THE GROUNDS OF THEIR INTENDED SITE, THE BROTHERS ESTABLISHED THE WHITE OAK MILL. BY 1908 THEY HAD BECOME THE LARGEST PRODUCERS OF DENIM ON THE PLANET, AND WHITE OAK, WHICH WAS CONTROLLED BY MOSES, EARNED HIM THE REPUTATION OF BEING “THE KING OF DENIM”.
THEN IN 1915, AN EVENT OCCURRED THAT WOULD CHANGE THE COURSE OF DENIM HISTORY FOREVER. IN NEED OF A REPUTABLE DENIM SUPPLIER, LEVI STRAUSS & CO. APPROACHED THE CONE BROTHERS TO BECOME THE EXCLUSIVE MANUFACTURERS OF THEIR SHRINK-TO-FIT DENIM FOR THE LOT 501 JEAN. THIS AGREEMENT BECAME KNOWN AS “THE GOLDEN HANDSHAKE”. THE RELATIONSHIP WOULD ENDURE TWO WORLD WARS UNTIL AT THE LATTER PART OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY LEVIS WOULD MOVE THE BULK OF ITS PRODUCTION OVERSEAS.
UNFORTUNATELY, FOR DENIM LOVERS, THE WORLD OVER CONE DENIM IS NOW GONE FOREVER AND NO LONGER PRODUCING IT'S COVETED SELVEDGE FABRICS. THE MILLS' PARENT COMPANY WAS BOUGHT BY THE CALIFORNIAN BASED PRIVATE EQUITY FIRM PLATINUM FOR $99 MILLION, FROM A COMPANY OWNED BY THE NOW U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY WILBUR ROSS. DECLARING THE BUSINESS UNPROFITABLE, PLATINUM TOOK THE DECISION TO CLOSE THE DOORS ON PROBABLY THE MOST ICONIC DENIM MILL IN THE WORLD.
