History
Founded in 1926 by J.M. Haggar in Dallas, Texas, the company is credited with popularizing the term "slacks" to describe non-suit trousers. Haggar introduced several technical innovations to the garment industry, including the first permanent press pants and the expandable waistband. The brand maintains cultural significance through its long-standing role as the official provider of gold jackets for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and other sports organizations.
