from Slacks to Sweats Podcast · host Sam & Amber

In this nostalgic dive into iconic American fashion, we explore the remarkable journey of Oshkosh B'Gosh from its humble beginnings as a manufacturer of sturdy bib overalls for railroad workers to becoming a beloved children's clothing brand recognized worldwide for its distinctive striped overalls. Join us as we uncover how this Wisconsin-based company transformed workwear into an enduring symbol of American childhood, weathered changing fashion trends, and continues to evoke powerful memories for generations of parents who dressed their own children in the same overalls they once wore.
