On the job since 1922
A century ago, we were just a small Texas company making bib overalls. Built with quality, grit, and quiet pride, every pair that came out of our shop embodied the spirit of the American worker. Eventually, the rest of the world caught on and wanted what Dickies was doing too.
While we’re now the number one work apparel manufacturer worldwide, we’re not all that different from when we began. We still make bib overalls. We’re still a Texas company. We still embody that spirit of the American worker. The only difference is we get to do what we do for more hard-working folks like you than ever before.

Made in Dickies
We created Dickies for the makers then and we continue to make for them now.
