With most sewn from durable and long wearing cotton duck cloth the company presents here multiple service ensembles for kitchen staff dining rooms and taverns many with decidedly Art Deco lines and patterns. The company originated in 1878 when Carmine Ostari Angelica 1850-1883 created an entirely new cook’s uniform for her husband Cherubino Angelica d. 1898 while cooking for the railroad based out of St. Louis MO. Featuring a tall white hat with a crown double-breasted white coat cloth buttons sewn to the sides and reversible layers of cloth to protect from heat and grease splatter and even cuffs which could be turned down to function as hot pads. Within a couple years Cherubino with Carmine supplying the uniforms founded the Angelica Corporation and after her death his second wife Therese Hirsch del Angelica b. 1855 would join the company and oversaw the introduction of the iconic Harvey Girls uniforms. After Levy and his brother purchased the business and the sewing machines in 1903 the company quickly expanded to dominate the service uniform market and still is one of the primary suppliers of uniforms across the country.
