What to know about Stan Ray
The painter pant is the catalogue
One garment carries the line: the OG painter pant, plus a slimmer 80s cut and the wider Big Job, with fatigues, coveralls and shop jackets built around it.
Still sewn by the founding family
Earl Beard started the Crockett, Texas factory in 1972 stitching painter pants for Brooklyn Overall Company; his family still runs it alongside sister label Gung Ho.
Work clothes priced as work clothes
Cotton sateen and hard-wearing utility cuts sit at mid-market prices, which is why the brand reads equally as trade workwear and as streetwear staple in Japan and Europe.
