LISTEN: Famed Workwear Maker Moving from Texas to California

A longtime manufacturer of workwear and other apparel is relocating its headquarters from Texas to California — reversing a highly publicized trend of companies moving in the opposite direction in recent years.The parent company of Dickies and a series of other footwear and clothing brands announced a plan to consolidate its footprint in Southern California, which would see the brand — established in Fort Worth more than 100 years ago — head 1,400 miles west to Orange County, where it will join with the operations of sister company and famed California shoe brand Vans at a campus in Costa Mesa early next year.
