It was founded in 1892 as the Norwegian Tailors' Union (Norsk Skredderforbund), and changed its name to Norsk Bekledningsarbeiderforbund in 1931. It affiliated to the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.[1]
By 1968, the union had 12,551 members.[2] The following year, it merged with Norwegian Union of Textile Workers and the Norwegian Union of Shoe Makers, forming the Garment Workers' Union.[1]
