1918 Pattern Sweet Orr Womanalls
Patented by Sweet Orr in 1918, the ‘Womanalls’ were created as a suitable garment for women to wear as they entered the workforce, and more specifically in factories. Sweet Orr & Company would often reach out to companies who started to employ women to sell their patented Womanalls as a safe, suitable and comfortable clothing option for women workers. These overalls came in different fabrics, and the pair we have to offer you today is made from a lightweight indigo-dyed Stifel Shadow Stripe. The overalls feature a fitted bib with reinforced stitching, two smaller sized front patch pockets, and cross-back straps for secure wear and comfort in mobility. Metal buckles can also be found along the ankles of each leg, and were designed as such to ensure the garment stays close to the body and wouldn’t get caught in machinery. The fabric’s wear and ever-so-subtle patina reflect the over 100-year-old garment’s past. Women’s workwear is becoming increasingly difficult to come by and this being a coveted original pair of Sweet Orr’s own Stifel fabric Womanalls is about as hard to come by as it gets. The interior of the overalls are littered in J. L. Stifel & Sons trademark boot stamps.
