Levis’s FW15 Collection “The Golden Handshake,” named after the agreement made at Levi’s and Cone Mills in 1915. Exclusive rights were given to Levi’s to produce the shrink-to-fit denim for the classic 501. Today Cone Mills are still exclusive manufacturers of this denim, made in it’s White Oak, Greensboro factory as it was 100 years ago. Collections include reproductions from the brands 1915 catalogue.
