Williamson-Dickie Manufacturing Company is the official name for this popular clothing brand. Originally meant (and still used) for work environments, such as for a mechanic, however, today many people of different believes and backgrounds are
clad in
Dickies, such as kids in full
dickies outfits (at school for example). Also, it is very popular in schools in
the Philadelphia region of Pennsylvania.
