Striped denim, characterized by its interwoven indigo and white stripes, is one of America’s iconic workwear fabrics. It is closely associated with vintage clothing for railroads, carpenters, and painters, with origins dating back to approximately 1865-1920. Unlike earlier Wabash stripes, these stripes were woven into the fabric and, due to their durability, were ideal for workwear during the steam train era. They effectively protected railroad workers from fly ash and hot cinders. Over time, striped denim gradually replaced Wabash fabric, becoming synonymous with train engineers and railway workers.

The most common stripe patterns were the Express Stripe (also known as Railroad Freight Stripe), the Liberty Stripe (or Liberty Victory Stripe), and the Hickory Stripe (sometimes called Hickory Pecan Stripe). While the names differ, these fabrics were all used for workwear and were not strictly divided by occupation.
