Self-explanatory in a sense, ‘workwear’ is best defined as clothes that you work in. In earlier times though, workwear was what you wore when you worked at the coalfields, mineshafts, timber logging sites or production lines. Purely intended to be functional, everything in workwear apparel in the olden days was initially included for a just explanation – starting from the texture to the zips and pockets. It was n​​ever intended to look beautiful or to serve as a branding vehicle.

This is why the first thought that comes to mind when we think of workwear in earlier times, the pieces of apparel that one picture are commonsense things like sturdy hide coats, load pants, and rugged cargo pants.

 Functional workwear was important – Then as it is Now

It is no surprise that workwear used to be typically worn by individuals who worked with their hands – On the fields, at the machines or elsewhere where hard labor was necessary. Given this, the garments had to be specific to the activity. So, what worked for an individual working a mineshaft would not serve many purposes to someone working at a production line.

That, however, changed with the times.

The Revolution that brought about an Evolution

On account of the strenuous nature of their work, workwear attire then was rugged and defensive. And so, materials such as heavy-duty drill cotton, corduroy, and denim were extensively used. Besides, these materials were flexible to harm and relatively modest to create, which made them perfect for laborers on low compensation.

Then came the revolutions…Industrial revolutions to be precise.

The industrial revolutions stand as defining moments that brought about flourishing and large-scale development everywhere. Significantly, it also gave rise to the ascent of worker’s unions where the development in working conditions was most articulated.

By and by, as the demands by worker’s unions for more stable working conditions increased, so did the wages, quality of life and the consequent workwear become more and more refined.

Looking back, the revolution did indeed bring about an evolution in many aspects – and specifically in this context – in the form of workwear too!
