1905 HAULER WEST - Blue Wabash

The 1905 Hauler Vest from Pike Brothers is a classic workwear vest inspired by workwear from the early 1900s. At this time, workers often wore vests to protect their shirts from dirt and wear while providing extra pockets for small tools and necessities.

The model is based on historical work vests from around 1905. The fit is narrower and more body-hugging than many other workwear vests, making the garment practical in work situations where loose-fitting clothing could get caught in machinery or equipment.

The vest is made from 13oz Wabash selvedge denim , a classic workwear fabric with distinctive vertical dots or stripes. The fabric is 100% cotton and has a distinct structure that develops patina and wear patterns over time.

The 1905 Hauler Vest is also slightly longer in the body than Pike Brothers' 1937 Roamer Vest, making it particularly suitable for tall, slim people or for use with high-waisted trousers in a classic workwear style.

The vest is produced in Turkey.

About Wabash Denim

Wabash fabric is a classic workwear fabric that became popular among railroad workers in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The fabric is characterized by its small, vertical dots or stripes, traditionally created by printing the pattern onto dark indigo-dyed denim.

The distinctive structure made the fabric practical in work situations because the pattern hid dirt better than solid denim. Today, Wabash is considered an iconic fabric in heritage and workwear-inspired clothing.

The robust 13oz quality provides a good balance between durability and comfort, while the fabric develops a distinct patina over time.

The story behind the Hauler vest

The name Hauler comes from the English verb to haul , which means to pull, drag or carry. Such work vests were worn by workers in warehouses, docks and industrial environments where clothing had to withstand harsh use.

The close-fitting fit made the vest practical for work because it did not hang loose and could get caught on machines or tools. The result was a durable and functional garment that has today become a classic in heritage and workwear-inspired clothing.
