The hickory stripe is one of the iconic American workwear fabrics — if not the most. It was favored by railroad workers and painters as the stripes would obscure stains. The catchy but odd name is believed to refer to the fabric's hard-wearing properties; because it is ""tough as hickory."" Other excellent details are the cream-colored threads, and the blue corozo buttons.And while it is indeed tough, it is compared to denim that's flatter and lighter in weight due to the thinner yarn and flatter 2/1 construction. Therefore, it's perfect for workwear where comfort is of importance.We have developed this 8.5 oz. 2/1 Z hickory stripe denim by studying our favorite vintage examples. The 2/1 construction gives the indigo stripe an almost solid mid-blue color. To highlight the indigo blue hue, we purposely made it wider. Which also creates a more pleasing balance between the stripes.
