Greensboro, N.C.-based Cone Denim® is expanding its partnership with hemp processor BastCore LLC. The two companies will continue to collaborate to offer sustainable denim offerings while supporting American agriculture.
Cone recently introduced its U.S. Hemp Collection featuring BastCore U.S.-grown hemp
as well as natural indigo and U.S. cotton. The fabric range includes classic 3×1 weaves, comfort stretch and modern workwear constructions.
BastCore manufactures hemp fiber in Montgomery, Ala., that is USDA biopreferred and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.
