Prison Blues
Prison Blues -- Made on the Inside to be worn on the Outside
Prison Blues was formed by the State of Oregon in 1989 as a way to create jobs for the Oregon Correctional Institution.
The factory, located at the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton, Oregon, is 47,000 square feet and produces many garments including shirts, jeans and hats. Each inmate must pass a detailed hiring process. They are then trained by managers with private industry experience.
By purchasing a Prison Blues garment, you get a quality product made by inmates who take pride in their work. You are also supporting a program that teaches inmates valuable working skills that they need to become contributing members of society.

Yard Coat Sizing and Fit
Please consider ordering a smaller size! By design, the yard coat is loose fitting. The coat is not fitted so is quite wide at the hem and the sleeves are long. The coat is further oversized to allow for initial shrinkage when washed. In-between sizes should order the next size down. Many of our customers prefer a less loose fit when wearing the Yard Coat and order the next size down (for instance ordering a size Medium Yard Coat and a size Large Hickory Shirt).
