    Van Heusen - a dead brand?

    Interestingly, I sold a pink Arrow interlock polo last November. Arrow is nearly an extinct brand considering that they were once highly dependent on Sears for sales, who is now a shell of their former self. Kohl's has also dropped the brand. I think the only major retailer still selling them is...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    BTW, about the red label, it was originally introduced for the higher-end IZOD Luxury Sport (IZOD LX) line for Macy's, but was later adopted for the standard IZOD line, and remained until 2017 even after IZOD LX was discontinued. I think one reason for the discontinuation of IZOD LX was due to...

    Van Heusen - a dead brand?

    I seem to get okay sales with IZOD, US Polo Assn, and Chaps which are similarly priced, although they are more preppy-styled brands rather than business casual. I wonder why these brands have better resale value than Van Heusen. Also note that the same colors/styles aren't necessarily offered...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    IZOD has stopped using the red label in spring 2017, switching to a navy-blue label.

    Van Heusen - a dead brand?

    I have been selling some of my clothes that I don't wear anymore on eBay, Mercari, Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace, and Depop. While I have been having decent luck selling IZOD, Nautica, Chaps, US Polo Assn, and even a few less popular brands such Geoffery Beene and ARROW, I have a red Van Heusen...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    Looks like PVH is selling IZOD, Van Heusen, Arrow, and Geoffrey Beene to Authentic Brands Group: PVH to sell Izod, Van Heusen and other labels to Authentic Brands for $220M | Retail Dive I just wonder how will IZOD be differentiated from Nautica. Will it be similar to how PVH differentiated...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    Looks like Kohl's will be dropping Chaps (Ralph Lauren's lower cost line) by the end of the year. While some stores and Kohls.com has received some Spring 2021 product, Kohl's will no longer carry the brand by the end of the year. This will leave Belk and Amazon as the two primary retailers...

    Good, Reasonably-priced chino shorts available in size 28 waist

    I was wondering, does anyone know some brands of good reasonably priced chino shorts available in size 28. I wanted to get some for my cousin in Puerto Rico, and I would prefer for it to be available on Amazon Prime for I don't have to pay shipping fees. It appears the smallest size waist IZOD...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    Chaps is below Lauren and is mainly sold at Kohl's, Belk, and Amazon. Ralph Lauren used to have another brand known as American Living which was sold at JCPenney. American Living was comparable in price to Chaps, but was marketed as a more exclusive in-house line, while Chaps at the time was...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    Yes Yes, IZOD is still around, although they have been separate from Lacoste since the early 1990s. Today they are a brand of preppy-styled clothes from PVH at a mid-range price point (typically priced higher than brands such as Hanes, Gildan, or store private labels, but lower than typical...

    Discussions about the fashion industry thread

    I just noticed IZOD has added more color options to its core Basic (year-round) collection for its Advantage Polo. The new colors that were just added to the Basic collection include Fairy Tale (pale pink), Blue Radiance (turquoise), Dahlia Purple (bright purple), Lemon (lemon yelow), Bright...

    Color of buttons on men's shirts - light vs. dark

    It seems most of my lighter-colored shirts used lighter-colored buttons and most of my darker-colored shirts use darker-colored buttons. However, there is one shirt that is an anomaly - a very pale pink interlock polo from 2016 that uses dark brown buttons. This seems pretty atypical for the...

    Your memorable fashion moments in recent years

    I was wondering, what are your most memorable fashion moments in recent years? This week marks the second anniversary since I got my favorite pink interlock polo shirt. Two years later it is still going strong, and I wear it quite frequently. This shirt is very special to me, since it serves...

    Should PVH split into two companies?

    Remember though with VF the separation was the jeans business from the outdoors/workwear business, with VF retaining the latter.

    Should PVH split into two companies?

    Considering that VF split into two companies focusing on different fashion categories, I was wondering, do you think PVH should split in two? If it were to happen, the way I would structure it would be one company focusing on sportswear and dresswear, and the other focusing on jeans, intimate...
