Apparel Fabrics

The Apparel Fabrics Group is the largest of all the Mount Vernon Mills groups, accounting for over half of all company sales. In fact, denim fabric is woven and finished for sale to many major manufacturers across the country like Wrangler, Lee, and Levi's.

The Apparel Fabrics Group operates one of the largest denim manufacturing facilities in the world. The mill at Trion produces over 400,000 square yards a day in a wide variety of denim including washed, over-dyed, and stretch fabrics. Other products within the group include twills, drills, duck, and plain weave fabrics. These are piece-dyed for career apparel, work clothing and sportswear -- most of which is considered "bottom weight" for pants, slacks, and trousers.

The Apparel Fabrics Group consists of a fully integrated denim mill, plus a piece dyeing and finishing plant located in Trion, GA; a greige mill in Alto, GA; and a chemical processing and plastic coating facility in Ware Shoals, SC, called Riechem. The AFG also has sales offices throughout the country.
