You could say U.S. ABE is an original member of Pittsburgh’s industrial scene. That’s because for over 100 years, U.S. ABE has outfitted the working class citizens of our region with essential work wear, uniforms, specialty gear, boots and outerwear.
They carry all kinds of gear for all kinds of needs—customized uniforms for businesses, municipalities and labor unions, big and tall sizes, work boots and hikers, flame-resistant gear, outerwear and rugged accessories like thermal underwear, wool socks and gloves. All from rough and tumble brands like Carhartt, Dickies, Rothco, Timberland, Red Wing and more. U.S. ABE stands apart by staying true to its industrial roots; offering personalized service from their vintage location at 8th and Carson on the South Side.
This year, U.S. ABE began reaching out to new markets in new ways—including a new website that speaks louder to retail and business-to-business audiences. Other efforts include direct marketing, new photography (obviously!), a revamped social media presence, and outreach to younger audiences that shows classic work wear can be “every wear.”
We couldn’t agree more! Gone are the days that flannel, camo pants and welding caps are just for the boys. Fashionistas and everyday shoppers are going to lust over these looks! Work wear is transforming into ready wear, and Maniac is all about it.
After all, what laidback look would be complete without a U.S. ABE snapback or beanie? Visit the U.S. ABE store at 807 Carson Street, or pop in on line to shop gear: www.usabe.com.
