Wigwam Mills is a hosiery company based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, United States.
The company flourished under Chesebro, however when the stock market crashed, the hosiery industry struggled in the difficult economy of the Great Depression.
By 1945 the company had expanded its line to include baseball hosiery, anklets, hockey caps, mittens, and socks for all types of activities.
On January 1, 1957, the company changed its name from Hand-Knit Hosiery to Wigwam Mills, based on the popularity of the brand.
A new logo and more technical synthetic fibers were utilized to develop products such as the Poly-Wool line of performance socks as well as the overnight success—Moraine.
In 2020, siblings Chris Chesebro and Margaret Newhard took over the helm of the company from their father Robert Chesebro, Jr.[1] Later in 2021, Wigwam was awarded a patent for custom-fitting socks, designed to more-truly fit the anatomical shape of a foot compared to other socks.
