Founded in 1895 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc. has grown from a small-town manufacturer of adult workwear into a global marketer of children's clothing and accessories. Best known for our rugged, men's hickory-striped bib overalls, the Company began making the pint size version in the early 1900's, so that children could dress like their fathers. It wasn't until Miles Kimball, a local mail order firm, featured a pair of children's bib overalls in its national catalog that sales of the item took off. Prompted by the strong response, OshKosh B'Gosh expanded distribution into specialty and department stores, and gradually broadened our children's wear line.

In July 2005 we joined the Carter's family of brands. Carter's and OshKosh B'Gosh are two of the oldest, largest, and most-recognized branded marketers of baby and young children's apparel in the U.S. Our century-old heritage of quality and value has earned the respect and trust of generations of families. Today, we continue that tradition with a Company that addresses today's consumers, today's employees, and today's children. Based on the belief that childhood is a celebration, our brands are all about creating products for children that are distinguished by quality and creative art and color. By celebrating childhood, we honor the creativity and imagination in children, and we foster an emotional connection to children and their families. We strive to be a great Company to do business with, to have as a neighbor, and to work for. Our Vision Statement encompasses our values and beliefs. We strive to conduct our business in a manner that reflects this vision: "We embrace creative leadership, innovative teamwork and a winning spirit to be the best for the benefit of our customers, our consumers, our employees and our shareholders."

The core strength of our business remains the OshKosh B’Gosh brand name, recognized nationally and internationally for its classic American style, durability and quality. We’ve grown from a small town manufacturer into an incredibly strong and powerful consumer brand. Today’s consumer looks to OshKosh for contemporary, stylish children’s clothing and accessories.
