In regards to the number of small denim manufacturers in the U.S., Noble stands as one of the premier labels. Based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, the brand makes a point out of its attention to detail and expertise. In light of this, Noble has recently unveiled an admittedly sentimental video, going behind the scenes of the Tennessee factory that helps with production. At the center of this story is Danny Swafford, a longtime denim craftsman in the sleepy town of Milledgeville, TN, whose business was put into dire straits by overseas manufacturing. A partnership with Noble helped to revitalize Danny’s company and the families that depend on it, also perpetuating Noble’s own positive cause.
