Oakies Workwear was born from a concept based in the dairy industry. The capacity to carry all the products farm tasks require is the same as a fall day feels to a busy farmer: short. From farm hand to herdsman to artificial insemination tech, each position required the pockets that workwear apparel wasn’t offering.
I come from a life of hard work, ruined clothes, and dairy cows. Designing clothing might have been the last industry I saw myself being a part of. Spending the first part of my life and career cow side, breeding for various stud companies, I needed to eliminate time spent walking to replenish my supplies for my sake and my cows’. No workwear company offered what I had in mind. Thus, I started Oakies Workwear.
Our flagship overall and coverall pocket design fixes the problem I needed to solve. While at it, I decided to improve workwear comfortability without sacrificing durability.
The best innovations come from within the industry. I was inspired to help those who are like me. So, I took a leap of faith and drove into the apparel business.
