Oshkosh is known for OshKosh B'Gosh, a manufacturer of overalls and children's clothing founded in Oshkosh in 1895. Originally a small-town manufacturer of adult work clothing, it became best known for its children's lines.
Despite the name, OshKosh B'Gosh overalls are no longer made in Oshkosh, though the company maintains corporate offices there.

Letterpress started to become largely out-of-date in the 1980s because of the rise of computers and new self-publishing print and publish methods.
Contemporary letterpress is considered a craft as it involves using a skill and is made by hand.
Today, some small letterpress shops survive by printing fine editions of books or by printing upscale invitations and stationery. These methods often use presses that require the press operator to feed paper one sheet at a time by hand.
