Hickory stripe fabric originated in late 19th-century America as a heavy-duty cotton workwear material designed specifically for railroad workers, engineers, and mechanics. Named after hickory wood to symbolize its extreme toughness. This distinct pattern was highly practical, as it cleverly disguised soot, oil, and grease during long shifts on steam locomotives. By the 1920s, the fabric became an official industrial standard, cementing its legacy as an iconic symbol of American railroad history before eventually transitioning into workwear especially for industrial work.
Our Hickory Stripe Brown is an overdyed Version of the classic White and blue stripe and easier on the eye. We offer a full range of garments so you can have a full Outfit as it was worn back in the day.
All items of the Hickory Brown fabric are pre washed for more comfort and better fit.
The 1941 Utility Jacket is based on the legendary P41 jacket of the USMC. The P41 was the field jacket of the early 1940s in the U.S. Marine Corps and was worn for daily duty. The Utility jacket has a regular fit, three outside pockets and is an Icon of the American Military jackets.
