Left Field NYC Atlas – 14oz Vidalia Mills

This first release of Vidalia Mills marks the return of American-made premium selvedge denim since the close of Cone Mills in 2017. Louisiana based Vidalia Mills serendipitously acquired the historic Cone Mills Draper X3 shuttle looms (as well as the original flooring!) to revive the tradition of American denim. It’s fitting that Left Field, a brand that celebrates quality American manufacturing like no other, is among the first to mark the return of American selvedge.

This Vidalia Mills fabric comes in at a perfect weight 14oz with a warp yarn that’s 27% indigo, which will yield some dramatic fades. The cotton used in the fabric is certified E3: socially equitable, economically viable and environmentally responsible.

We’ve brought in their first run in the Atlas, one of our most popular fits. The Atlas has a relaxed top block provides plenty of room to move in the hips and thighs and keeps you covered on the backside when bending over. It’s perfect for guys with bigger thighs, no need to worry about the jeans fitting too tightly. From there, the jeans taper all the way down to the leg opening. It’s a fairly dramatic taper but it provides the perfect fit and silhouette by taking up all that excess fabric in the lower leg. The result is a pair of jeans that fits the natural shape of the body perfectly.
