Ninety-two brand guides to denim and workwear — raw-denim brands, denim mills and the makers of chore coats, overalls and work trousers.
Denim and workwear are categories where origin matters to buyers, and these guides set out where each brand weaves, cuts and sews.
The mills
Much of the world’s denim comes from a few mills: Kaihara, founded in 1893 and described as Japan’s largest denim maker; Candiani in Lombardy; ISKO in Bursa; Arvind in Ahmedabad; Vicunha, Latin America’s largest; and Cone Denim, whose White Oak selvedge plant closed in 2017.
Makers and where they sew
Some brands sew close to home: Hiut Denim in Cardigan, Naked & Famous in Canada, Blackhorse Lane in Walthamstow, Atelier Tuffery in its Cévennes workshop since 1892, and Momotaro in Kojima. Workwear houses range from Pointer Brand’s own Tennessee factory since 1913 and Round House in Oklahoma since 1903 to brands that make offshore, such as Mascot, whose factories are in Vietnam and Laos.
How to use these guides
Each guide covers who owns the name today, where the products are made — by the maker’s own account and, where it differs, by other sources — and the brand’s visual identity. A company’s description of itself is attributed to the company, and where a business has closed we say so plainly. The table at the end gathers the essentials.
