What to know about Smith's
Priced under Carhartt and Dickies
Sold through mass-market, e-commerce and farm-supply or hardware channels, it sits consistently below the established heritage workwear names on price.
Built for jobsites, not styling
The range is jobsite staples — carpenter pants, duck utility trousers, flannels, hooded jackets — with reinforced knees, hammer loops and tool pockets.
1916 date traces to overalls
The founding year points back to the Smith family's Smith Bros. Manufacturing in Missouri, the maker behind Big Smith overalls.
