Heritage & History
L.C. King Manufacturing Company was founded in January 1913 in Bristol, Tennessee, and its first product line was named Pointer Brand — a name that has endured for over 110 years. The company's State Street factory in downtown Bristol has been in the capable hands of the King family across four generations, an unbroken chain of family ownership that is increasingly rare in American manufacturing.
Bristol, Tennessee sits on the state line with Virginia — the main street divides them — and Pointer Brand workwear carries the character of Appalachian working culture: built tough, made honestly, without shortcuts. The overalls, jeans, jackets, and coveralls that leave the Bristol factory are cut and sewn by hand by workers who take pride in making things that last. Pointer Brand is not fashion workwear — it is working people's clothing made by working people, in an American factory that predates the First World War.
Made in Bristol, Tennessee
Every Pointer Brand garment is cut and sewn at the L.C. King factory on State Street in Bristol, Tennessee. The factory produces denim bib overalls in low-back and high-back configurations, painter's overalls with zip-apron fronts, work jeans, coveralls, and chore coats — the full vocabulary of American workwear made exactly as it has been for generations. Heavy-duty cotton denim, rust-proof fasteners, reinforced stress points, and hammer loops are standard features because working people demanded them and the Bristol factory built them in.
Pointer Brand overalls are available on Amazon and through specialty workwear retailers. The denim is 100% cotton and cut full — designed for wearing over work clothes in cold weather or as standalone work pants in warm weather. The low-back full-cut style is particularly popular for farm and ranch work where freedom of movement matters more than a close fit. For American workers and heritage denim enthusiasts who want domestically made workwear that has outlasted every fashion trend of the past century, Pointer Brand delivers exactly that.
