Hi - One thought that comes to mind is the American Labor Museum in New Jersey, especially since they have curated fashion exhibits on union-made clothing, for example: https://labormuseum.net/
I have a collection of hard hats that I have gathered over the last 25 years. They are interesting to me - and perhaps some of you - because they are personal equipment worn every day but usually with the employer's name displayed prominently.
Because of an impending move I need to find a new home for many of them. They are in four boxes, 22" x 22" x 22" and my guess is that there's over a hundred or so in total. The hats are from a variety of industries including telephone & communications, oil, construction, mining, railroads, etc. Some are generic.
