About Key Apparel
Key Apparel has manufactured bib overalls, work jackets, and workwear in Fort Scott, Kansas since 1908, making it one of America's oldest workwear brands with over 115 years of continuous domestic production serving farmers, mechanics, and tradespeople.
Heritage & History
Key Apparel was founded in 1908 in Fort Scott, Kansas, at a time when bib overalls were essential equipment for American farmers and laborers. The company has been manufacturing workwear in Fort Scott for over 115 years — through two World Wars, the Great Depression, the postwar boom, the decline of domestic apparel manufacturing, and globalization. That continuity is remarkable: most American workwear brands either moved production overseas or were acquired by companies that did.
Key Apparel stayed in Kansas because the company understood that its customers — farmers, ranchers, construction workers, and other people who work with their hands — valued American-made durability. A Key bib overall purchased in 1950 was built the same way as one purchased today, and that consistency has built loyalty across generations of American workers.
Made in Fort Scott, Kansas
Fort Scott, in southeastern Kansas, has been home to Key Apparel's manufacturing operations for over a century. The factory there employs skilled workers who produce the bib overalls, logger overalls, and work jackets that have made Key a trusted name in American workwear. The blended denim fabrics used in Key products are selected for durability — the kind of wear resistance that survives years of farm work, construction, and mechanical labor.
Key Apparel bib overalls are designed around practical function: multiple tool pockets, adjustable bib straps, reinforced knees, and a cut that allows freedom of movement for people who spend their days in physical work. These are garments designed by people who understand working for a living, made by workers in Kansas who take pride in producing clothing that their fellow Americans can depend on.
