William S. Propper founded the company in 1967, initially securing a contract to manufacture the iconic white Dixie Cup hats for the United States Navy. Over decades, it became one of the largest official suppliers to the Department of Defense. While primarily a government contractor, Propper’s expansion into the commercial market influenced fashion history by popularizing tactical silhouettes and technical fabrics within the broader workwear and streetwear landscapes.
