The brand was officially launched in 1921 when John Manning Van Heusen patented a revolutionary collar design that became the basis of their success. Over the years, Van Heusen has expanded its product line to include a wide range of men's and women's clothing and has become synonymous with stylish and comfortable professional attire.

• Label Location of Manufacturing Country

The location of the manufacturing country on a modern label is usually behind the tag, not on the front many 1980s and earlier labels.

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards.
