Unite members at the J Barbour & Sons warehouse in Follingsby Park, Washington, Tyneside have walked out over a proposed pay rise.
Unite regional officer Dave Telford said: "Barbour made a £9m profit in 2009, up from £5m the previous year.
"The company is obviously performing well financially, and we don't believe the pay rise is enough."
A spokesman for Barbour said: "Our offer represents a total increase of 3.3 per cent over 12 months, which we believe is a fair one, particularly in the current economic climate."
