Van Heusen (creator)The Van Heusen story began in 1881 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Moses Phillips and his son Isaac began by selling shirts, hand sewn by Moses' wife and daughters, to local miners.
Almost 30 years later, John Manning Van Heusen was granted a patent for a new process he created that fused cloth on a curve. Isaac Phillips bought the patent and the Phillips-Van Heusen alliance was born.
As of 2018, Van Heusen is still in business.
