FORT WORTH, Texas (November 6, 2006) - Williamson-Dickie Mfg. Co., the leading global workwear brand, announces the launch of high visibility and enhanced visibility workwear marking the company's first high visibility apparel line.

The product line will offer the largest full line of high and enhanced visibility apparel of any national brand, including American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel (ANSI) 107 - 2004 and non-ANSI certified clothing. Many of these garments have been made with 3M(TM) Scotchlite(TM) Reflective Material, which is recognized as the leading high performance retro-flective material to enhance visibility in low-light and nighttime conditions. Dickies is launching its high and enhanced visibility apparel at the 2006 National Safety Congress & Expo in San Diego.
"Dickies was founded as a workwear company and we have stayed true to our roots by focusing product design around the needs and preferences of workers," said Jon Ragsdale, vice president of marketing and business development for Dickies. "Visibility is one of the top priorities for workers in variety of jobs and environments ranging from high volume traffic to heavy equipment. Government guidelines on protective clothing continues to advance so it was a natural progression for Dickies to create a high and enhanced visibility line because of our focus on work wear and commitment to the everyday, blue collar worker."
