Van Heusen
Why partner with Van Heusen?
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. Today, while mastering the balance of Classic and Modern, Van Heusen establishes itself as a Heritage Brand that is trusted to provide COMFORT AND INNOVATION TO EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS.
