Folded selvedge denim jeans on a workshop cutting table

Lucky Brand will launch a limited-edition line of USA-made men’s jeans in summer 2022. Its last such jean came out in 2018.

The jeans use selvedge denim from Louisiana-based Vidalia Mills. They are sewn and laundered in California at Star Fades International, which is owned by Artistic Milliners.

Key details

  • Vidalia makes the first USA selvedge since Cone Denim’s White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, closed in 2017.
  • The mill owns 46 Draper X3 selvedge looms that were once used at White Oak.
  • The line includes the 410 athletic straight, 223 straight and 363 vintage straight fits.
  • The jeans will sell for $199.

“This collection is a celebration of our heritage and honors the craft of small batch, limited-edition, Made in America jeans, where no two pairs are exactly the same and quality is paramount.”

Tamara Reynolds, vice president of design, denim, Lucky Brand
