| General info : | | Van Heusen is a brand name used by Authentic Brands Group LLC since 2021 and previously by PVH Corp., formerly known as the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, an American clothing company which owns brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Warner's, Olga and True & Co.
The Van Heusen story began in 1881 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Moses Phillips and his son, Isaac, began selling shirts which were hand-sewn by Moses' wife, Endel, and their daughters to the local coal miners. Quickly successful, Phillips expanded the operation to New York City.
Almost 30 years on, in 1919, Dutch immigrant John Manning Van Heusen was granted a patent for a new process he created that fused cloth on a curve, creating a comfortable soft-folding collar that retained the stiff-collar look of the era.
In New York, Van Heusen met with Isaac Phillips, who bought the U.S. patent for Van Heusen's revolutionary soft-folding collar, and the Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) alliance was born.
Van Heusen was acquired by Authentic Brands Group LLC in 2021. Authentic Brands Group LLC owns more than 50 consumer brands, as well as the likeness rights or estates of celebrities, including Muhammad Ali, Elvis Presley, and Marilyn Monroe. | |
