About Dickies Work Clothing

With distributers and manufacturers across North America and Europe, Dickies is considered to be the most prominent brand of work clothing. Dickies clothing ranges from uniforms to men’s and women’s clothing for manufacturing and industrial work, including pants, overalls, jackets, and pants made from durable materials like duck.

As Dickies is recognized universally for work clothes, many industrial and manufacturing retailers, including Construction Gear, carry a full line of Dickies products.

Dickies started as the U.S. Overall Company owned by C.N. Williamson and E.E. Dickie in 1918, but after son Don Williamson bought the company in 1922, all three took a third of the share in the company and the name changed to Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company. While being manufacturers originally for bib overalls, other work clothing was added gradually and, by World War II, the company was producing uniforms for the United States Army. After the war, the company continued to expand and eventually continued overseas to Europe and the Middle East in the 1950s.

As overalls are essentially Dickies first product, they continue to remain popular today with manufacturing and industrial workers needing additional protection and coverage during the job. Materials standard for Dickies overalls and coveralls designs are typically duck, including sanded duck, and all overall and coverall models come with a double knee. A Dickies double knee is additional reinforcement for the part of the pants that becomes worn quicker on the job.
