Cone Denim is one of the most historic and recognized names in American denim manufacturing. Originally founded in 1891 in Greensboro, North Carolina, as Cone Mills, the company has been producing denim fabric for over 130 years and was famously the exclusive supplier of selvedge denim for Levi's 501 jeans for much of the 20th century. Cone Denim is now a division of Elevate Textiles and operates manufacturing facilities in the Americas and Asia.

Cone Denim supplies denim fabric and provides private label and white label production support to major global fashion brands, retailers, and jeans manufacturers. Their product portfolio includes a vast range of denim fabrics from traditional selvedge and raw denim to stretch, performance, and sustainable constructions. The company's S Gene stretch technology and various sustainable fabric programs (using recycled fibers, organic cotton, and water-saving production methods) are widely adopted by leading denim brands. While Cone Denim is primarily a fabric supplier rather than a finished goods manufacturer, they work closely with garment manufacturing partners and can facilitate complete private label jean production through their network. The company's White Oak facility in North Carolina, which produced their famous selvedge denim, closed in 2017, but Cone Denim continues selvedge production in other facilities. Their brand heritage and technical innovation make them a premier partner for brands seeking premium denim with a storied provenance.
