LC King

L.C. King Manufacturing has cut and sewn garments in Bristol, Tennessee since 1913 and is still owned and run by the founding family, with fourth-generation Jack King leading it. Its Pointer Brand line, made since the beginning, covers denim and duck bib overalls, carpenter and five-pocket jeans, hickory-stripe jackets and chore coats built on long-running patterns. The company sells through its Bristol factory store, lcking.com and heritage workwear stockists. A recent investor listing describes plans to shift from in-house cut-and-sew toward sales and distribution.
