On April 9, the last great hope in American-made selvedge denim will be auctioned off in Vidalia, La. Presided over by the Concordia County Sheriff’s Department, Vidalia Mills will sell off its assets, including land, buildings and equipment to cover more than $30 million in debt. Included in the auction, presumably, will be 40-some American Draper X3 shuttle looms purchased from the fabled Cone White Oak denim mill in Greensboro, N.C., following its closure in 2017.
