HISTORY

Dickies workwear has a rich history. On March 11, 1922, Charles Nathan Williamson, C. Don Williamson, and Colonel E. E. Dickie purchased the U.S. Overall Company of Fort Worth, Texas, and two days later changed the name to the Williamson-Dickie Mfg Co. Dickies workwear started with only 35 people in a frame building on Boaz Street in Fort Worth and within a few years had more than 400 employees.


In 1926, the Dickies brand name became the company's registered trademark. It was during these early years in the 1920s that Dickies created its signature product - the Twill Work Pant. These durable, twill pants remain a best selling workwear today. Since Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co. began, every piece of the collection has been known for providing premium quality at an unmatched value. And for more than 88 years, Dickies has enjoyed success through their innovation in the apparel industry.


As the popularity of work wear exploded onto the world scene, the company became a global brand, as well as a lifestyle brand, known for Dickies no nonsense attitude and work wear heritage. By continually expanding and updating the work wear selection, Williamson-Dickie now offers work clothing ranging from its staple work pants and work shirts, to workwear, such as chore coats and denim jeans - all backed by the Dickies' long-standing satisfaction guarantee. It's easy to see why the uncomplicated, signature style of Dickies has driven the company's popularity among diverse audiences.
