Good Old Fashion Tennessee Work Wear - Pointer Brand - Made in USA


I wanted to make another post here about Pointer Brand Work Wear as I truly believe in the brand. This is a company who has been making quality work wear since 1913 and I just received a pair of Herringbone / Fisher stripe carpenter jeans which were truly amazing, minus the waist was a bit snug so I'm returning them and going a size up. If you want to support a Made in America Brand and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for some of the other vintage denim reissues out there give Pointer Brand a shot. My personal favorites are carpenter jeans, especially the fisher (herringbone) stripe, the hickory (railroad) stripe, and the rigid indigo (jelt denim) as well as the low back (sling back) overalls which nobody else has been making.

Pointer Brand Carpenter / Work Jeans - Made in USA Since 1913

I had been looking for a pair of vintage carpenter jeans in either an unwashed indigo or railroad stripe for a while and the Lee Sanforized and Carter's have been pretty hard to find in the right size. I stumbled across Pointer Brand's website and these guys have been making the same work jeans since 1913 and offer an unwashed indigo, railroad hickory stripe, fisher herringbone stripe, and brown duck canvas, as well as a natural wheat painter color. I just ordered a fisher striped pair so if anyone is interested in these type jeans or the old style chore coats you might want to check out Pointer's offerings HERE!
