KingGee has been part of Australia’s working culture since 1926 - nearly a century of crafting workwear and footwear built for the demands of real Australian jobs. Founded in Sydney by Robert Adcock, the brand’s very name was inspired by King George V, an expression of the time meaning ‘the best’ - and that standard has never slipped. From its iconic original overalls to today’s technically advanced Tradie boots and Workcool shirts, KingGee has remained a constant in sheds, on sites, and across worksites from Broome to Brisbane.
As part of the Workwear Group - Australia’s leading workwear organisation - KingGee combines a century of local knowledge with continuous product innovation. Their famous slogan ‘If They Were Any Tougher They’d Rust’ isn’t just a tagline; it’s a promise that has been earned, worn, and proven across Australia’s toughest industries for generations. Today, KingGee continues to push the boundaries of garment and footwear development, leading the Australian workwear industry with products engineered for the modern worker.
