How did workwear? True professional workwear traces its origins to the industrial boom of the global economy in the golden 19th century.
During this period, urban development began worldwide. The construction of railways ushered in a massive expansion, the number of manufacturing workers grew, new factories and workshops sprang up, and with them, the need for comfortable workwear arose and became paramount. At this time, a uniform style, appearance, and details began to emerge, and specific requirements for this type of clothing developed.
Traditional clothing of a factory worker: frock coat, trousers, shirt.
Work pants made of durable linen or 100% cotton were also invented at that time—the forerunners of modern denim. It all began with local farmers (cowboys) and the need for especially durable clothing for intensive work.
Fisherman's clothing is storm clothing that protects against sea winds and salt water, made of durable canvas...nowadays, canvas (tarpaulin) and its protective properties have found application in welder's workwear.
While scientific research was being conducted in Europe and the United States to study the impact of various factors on labor productivity, and working conditions were improving year after year, a new institute, the Research Institute of the Sewing Industry, was established in the USSR, designed to introduce innovative technologies into the production of domestic workwear. Unfortunately, however, workwear in the 1950s-1970s did not acquire the qualities that had already been tested and widely used in the West.
When it comes to service industry clothing, things were much better. The clothing of cooks, wait staff at restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, and retail workers has always received more attention, and for good reason – these jobs are always in the public eye, and the establishment's revenue and image are typically determined by their appearance. Service staff workwear has evolved with the times.
In recent years, changes have affected virtually the entire Russian workwear range—and this is pleasing both to the person who wears it daily and to those around them. Workwear, like any other clothing, is as subject to the passage of time and the evolving demands of human culture.
