About the Founder

Brenda (Maxx) Cumby McGee says she didn’t pick the trades—the trades picked her.

It started in her mother’s side yard garden with a toy conveyor and her brother’s red Tonka dump truck. It wasn’t a garden to her. It was a construction site.

In high school, she took architectural drawing, metal shop, welding, and art. It came as no surprise to those who knew her when she scored 100% in mechanicals on her aptitude tests.

She entered the Carpenters Union at 34 through a dear friend and mentor, Larry Cooper. Her career as a carpenter was rooted in the tradeshow industry—while also spending four decades in fashion.

That combination gives her a unique perspective: understanding what workwear needs to do—and what separates it from fashion.

The journey to keep GottStreet Blues® made in America hasn’t been easy. But she’s committed to doing it right.

The focus is the fit™.

Nothing gets released until it meets that standard.

Women deserve workwear that is safe, durable, functional—and actually fits. Workwear that looks as strong as the women wearing it.

That’s why GottStreet Blues® is built with inclusive sizing:
0–28 in pants. XS–4X in work shirts.
