Company Information: Founded
in 1916 as Smith Bros. Manufacturing, the company made a name for itself with Big Smith brand overalls sewn in a small factory above a livery barn. It was operated by the Smith family until 1971, when Lebowitz and the Paul Revere Insurance Co. bought it.
Within eight years, the company was doing million in sales and had broken into the European market. But it had expanded too fast, and rough changes were in store.
Lebowitz and his investors sold the company to a small conglomerate in New York in 1979, and Big Smith struggled. In 1982, it filed for bankruptcy protection. Two more filings followed, in 1984 and 1985, and Big Smith shut down.
A bank that had taken over the company approached Lebowitz.
After looking into it again, I felt the brand still had merit, even though the company was closed and they had no customers left and had no employees left,″ Lebowitz said.
After receiving a pledge of support from his friend Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Lebowitz bought back what was left of his old company _ one factory, the Carthage warehouse and the name.
In 2013 the Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co., better know as just Dickies, bought the Walls company. So since 2013, Dickies is now the manufacture of the Big Smith Brand bib overalls.
A lot of things have change since Dickies bought the brand. The main difference is the product selection of the Big Smith brand. For many years you could get a Big Smith brand jacket, coat, jeans, pants, shirts, and many more items.
Now the only products that are available under the Big Smith brand name are overalls.
