At Round House Jeans’ factory here in Shawnee, Oklahoma we often have people ask “You do this by hand? Where are all the machines?” Today most of the products a person buys everyday (like toothpaste, pencils, books, etc.) are made in highly automated manufacturing plants where actually touching the product is a no-no.

When Jim Antosh spoke at our OKPSA luncheon, he shared the story of Round House Workwear, the oldest operating manufacturing company in Oklahoma. Round House has been Oklahoma-owned since it started in 1903 and is currently headquartered in Shawnee.
