ALBERTON
ALBERTON has a history of being adopted as the "US ARMY DUCK." It brings the military specifications of the past to modern times.
History and Origin
History and origins
ALBERTON was a large-scale spinning company that flourished in Maryland, USA, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. As a central player in the US cotton market, it supplied duck fabric to the government and military, and during World War I it was widely adopted as "US ARMY DUCK."
Decline and inheritance of value
Decline and inheritance of value
Due to the Great Depression, the name of the town disappeared along with the company name in 1938, but the duck fabric business itself continued and expanded, and its quality and existence continue to hold value today as proof that it has supported the unknown behind-the-scenes development of the industry.
Revival in Japan and the present
Revival in Japan and the present
In 2016, the brand "ALBERTON®" was revived by a Japanese fabric producer, who produced duck fabric with selvedge stripes using old-fashioned power looms and the same manufacturing methods as those used at the time, breathing new value into the techniques and spirit of the past by bringing it back to life in the modern era.
