Western Glove Works

Western Glove Works is a Canadian family-owned jeans maker founded in 1921 by Bob Silver. The company owns such brands as Silver Jeans, Jag jeans, Christopher Blue jeans (out-of-business), and 1921 jeans (out-of-business). The brands are sold in over 30 countries across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Western Glove Works was founded in 1921 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, by Bob Silver. The Silver family initially bought a "dry goods" company but added manufacturing to the wholesale business and later, changed the name to Western Glove Works. They had several divisions including dungarees, jackets, and gloves. With time, they concentrated their business only on denim. The company has also created private label apparel for such high-profile names as Gap, Thrifty's, and Nordstrom.

In 1991, Michael Silver partnered with designer Allan Kemp to launch Silver Jeans Co. The jeans are sold at Western Glove's two branded retail store locations at Mall of America and Crossroads Center in Minnesota, at independent retailers and major department stores across North America and online at silverjeans.com.

In 2007/2008, Western Glove Works collaborated with Victoria Beckham for her dVb jeans line.

In 2012, Western Glove Works acquired Christopher Blue jeans from XMH Corporation (formerly Hartmarx).

In November 2020, Western Glove Works acquired Jag jeans. The jeans founded in 2003 are recognized for their pull-on jeans. In 2022, they launched Forever Stretch jeans—jeans that feature more than 90 percent give and flex to the body changes that women naturally experience, while always keeping their shape.
