History
Michael Silver established Silver Jeans Co. in 1991 as an extension of Western Glove Works, a family-owned company founded in 1921 in Winnipeg. The brand gained significance by addressing specific fit requirements, particularly for curvy silhouettes, which was a distinct shift in the 1990s denim market. It transitioned from a manufacturing-focused background to a recognized label, contributing to the evolution of mid-range premium denim and maintaining a consistent presence in retail history.
