Women who wrangle and weld need rugged clothing that works; entrepreneurs step up – Montana’s Red Ants Pants

After spending six months at a company in Bozeman, Mont., sewing backpacks to learn about production, Sarah Calhoun began making a single pants style she designed herself. She and her roommate at the time were the models. Then she started her women’s workwear company, Red Ants Pants, in 2006, in White Sulphur Springs, Mont.

Now, Red Ants Pants http://redantspants.com/ has 10 employees and offers a range of work clothing. Its standard pants cost $139. The company’s revenue is around $500,000 a year, and year-to-date sales are up 65 percent.
