Description
Warehouse & Co have been producing authentic, high quality garments since 1995. Warehouse continue with their standard aesthetic and development of iconic, classic pieces that have served them so well for 30 years. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a key New Deal agency active from 1935 to 1943, providing employment to over 8.5 million Americans during the Great Depression. It supported large-scale infrastructure and cultural projects, including roads, schools, hospitals, and arts programs - before being phased out as World War II expanded industrial employment. The WPA produced durable workwear for blue-collar workers through government-run sewing rooms, with garments tagged “Made by WPA Sewing Rooms, Not to Be Sold.” Seamstresses took pride in their craft, often joking that WPA stood for “We Patch Anything”, repairing and repurposing military garments into functional new designs. Drawing heavily from military workwear, WPA pieces featured practical adaptations and distinctive lock-stitch construction. The Lot. 1239 Double Knee Denim Trousers from Warehouse & Co are made in Japan from 100% cotton lightweight denim.
