Dickies
Workwear maker founded in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1922, known for its 874 work pant.
Dickies traces to the U.S. Overall Company, set up in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1918. In 1922 Colonel E. E. Dickie, C. N. Williamson and C. D. Williamson bought the company outright and renamed it Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company, which began with denim bib overalls for farm and ranch workers in the Southwest.
The company makes workwear for the automotive, hospitality, construction and medical trades. Its current range covers work, cargo, carpenter, double-knee and painter pants, the Original 874 work pant, shorts, shirts, outerwear, and coveralls and overalls.
VF Corporation acquired Williamson-Dickie in 2017. Headquarters moved from Texas to Costa Mesa, California, in 2025, and Bluestar Alliance completed its acquisition of Dickies from VF in November 2025.
