Modegeschiedenis
Founded in 1881 by Moses Phillips and his son Isaac, the brand gained prominence after patenting a soft-folding collar designed by John Manning van Heusen in 1919. This innovation transitioned men's fashion from stiff, detachable collars to integrated, comfortable designs. Throughout the 20th century, the company expanded globally, becoming a staple in the mass-market shirt industry and contributing to the standardization of ready-to-wear professional clothing for the middle class.
