Pexwear is a British workwear label originally founded in Liverpool in 1816 by John Peck & Co., which supplied butchers, engineers and warehousemen from its Edge Lane factory before closing during the 1970s industrial decline. Folk Clothing founder Cathal McAteer and Liverpool-born designer Domingo Rodriguez relaunched the label in October 2025, reissuing archive patterns with a fashion-led edge. The range covers Tradesman and Mechanics jackets, Engineers, Chefs and Stewards trousers and work shirts in heavyweight cotton twills. A debut store opened at 100 Shoreditch High Street, London, and stockists include END. and Urban Industry.
