Most overalls sold in America are sewn overseas. Carhartt, Dickies, Liberty, Berne — all moved production offshore. These six are still cut and stitched in US factories, from brands that never left.
Overalls are the original American workwear. Before work pants, before jeans, there were bib overalls. Farmers, railroad workers, and tradesmen wore them because they held up and held everything you needed. That has not changed. What changed is where they get made.
Finding a pair of overalls actually sewn in the USA is harder than it should be. We tracked down the brands still doing it and ranked them by build quality, value, and how honest their manufacturing claims are.
Made in USA Blue Denim Bib Overalls
Round House has been making overalls in Shawnee, Oklahoma since 1903. That is not a typo. Over 120 years in the same town, same product. Their #966 blue denim bib overall is the standard. Heavy 14.5-ounce denim, zipper fly, proportion-fitting bib with a shield back, and EZ hook slot-lock suspender loops that do not pop off when you bend over. At $60 for a pair of American-made bib overalls, nothing else comes close on value. The fit runs generous — size down if you are between sizes.

LC King has been making workwear in the same Bristol, Tennessee factory since 1913. Four generations of the King family, one factory, one standard. Their high back overalls are triple-stitched, cut from sturdy indigo denim, and built the way overalls were built before accountants got involved. The high back design gives better coverage and keeps the straps from sliding off your shoulders. These cost roughly double the Round House pair, and the difference shows in the details — the hardware, the stitching, the fit.

Check price →Overall Coverall
1620 Workwear is the new school of American-made work gear. Founded in 2016, they use a proprietary fabric blend that they claim has up to 10x more abrasion resistance than standard cotton duck. The overall coverall is a full-body piece with reinforced knees, heavy-duty hardware, and a modern athletic fit that actually moves with you. At $248, these are the most expensive on this list by a wide margin. But if you destroy a pair of $60 overalls every six months, the math starts making sense. Built for guys who actually abuse their gear.
Best for: Best for heavy use
Check price →Double Insulated Bib Overalls
All American Clothing out of Arcanum, Ohio is committed to 100% domestic production — fabric, thread, hardware, everything. Their insulated bib overalls are the pick for cold weather work. Double insulation means you can skip the extra layer underneath on all but the worst days. The outer shell is heavy-duty duck canvas and the fit is roomy enough to layer if you need to. If you work outside through winter, these earn their price by January.

Check price →Bib Overalls
Ben Davis has been making workwear in San Francisco since 1935. Their bib overalls are no-nonsense heavyweight cotton with a roomy cut that tradesmen and painters have relied on for decades. The fit is generous, the fabric is thick, and the price is right. Ben Davis does not chase trends or heritage branding — they just make solid work clothes at working-class prices. At $50, these are the cheapest American-made option on this list and a solid buy.

Check price →Made in USA Brown Duck Bib Overalls
Round House earns a second spot on this list because their brown duck canvas overalls are a genuinely different product from the denim version. The duck canvas is stiffer, more abrasion-resistant, and sheds sawdust and debris better than denim. Same Shawnee, Oklahoma factory, same quality construction, same $60 price. If you work around wood, metal, or anything that generates dust and shavings, duck canvas is the better fabric. The denim pair is more comfortable day one. The duck pair is tougher day one thousand.
Best for: Best canvas option
Check price →Why Two Round House Picks?
Round House makes both denim and duck canvas overalls in the same Oklahoma factory at the same price. They are different tools for different jobs. Denim is softer, breaks in faster, and works better for general use. Duck canvas is stiffer, more durable, and better for dusty or abrasive work environments. Most guys end up owning both.
A Note on Carhartt and Dickies
We get asked about these two constantly. Both brands still sell overalls. Neither brand makes them in the USA anymore. Carhartt moved the bulk of its production overseas years ago, and Dickies followed. If the label matters to you — and if you are reading this, it probably does — neither qualifies. Round House, to their credit, has called this out directly: they are the oldest and largest maker of bib overalls still manufacturing in America.
How to Buy
For Round House and LC King, buy direct from their websites. You will get the best price and you can verify the specific item is US-made. For 1620 Workwear and All American Clothing, same advice — go direct. Ben Davis sells through their site and through select retailers. Regardless of where you buy, check the product listing for "Made in USA" language. Some of these brands also sell imported items alongside their domestic ones.
