About the Company
Established in 1922 in Fort Worth, Texas, a city and state known for its grit, Dickies has always been known for its no-nonsense approach to functional workwear. The story of the legendary brand begins in 1922, when founding business partners C.N. Williamson and E.E. Colonel Dickie began making tough denim bib overalls for ranchers, farmhands and other workers around the Southwest. Since then, Dickies has spent nearly a century crafting innovative workwear known for its performance, durability and comfort. To this day, Dickies continues its long legacy of designing quality workwear at a price anyone can afford. What began as a humble denim bib overall company has grown into a worldwide force, weaving together cultural movements with a rigorous commitment to straightforward style and long lasting ingenuity. In 2017, Dickies was acquired by VF Corporation, one of the world`s largest apparel, footwear and accessories companies connecting people to the lifestyles, activities and experiences they cherish most through a family of iconic outdoor, active and workwear brands including Vans®, The North Face®, Timberland® and Dickies®. VF`s purpose is to power movements of sustainable and active lifestyles for the betterment of people and our planet. VF believes that when you discover the difference between a career and a calling, you get so much more out of life. When those lines begin to blur, you start to limit yourself much less and start aiming for more. That`s what we want for everyone who joins us at VF. And frankly, that`s what it takes to thrive here too.
