About Van Heusen

The Van Heusen story began in 1881 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Moses Phillips & 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. Since then Van Heusen has suited up. Today the Van Heusen range has grown to include suits, accessories, casual wear, footwear and women’s office wear. Van Heusen creates classic and fashion forward ranges using quality fabrics and finishes for sharp styling.

Van Heusen has created a range of innovations in business apparel including:

Van Heusen Move – A range of suits and shirts that gives unrivalled flexibility and freedom of movement.
