Since its beginnings in a one-room office in Dallas, Texas in 1926, Haggar Clothing Co. has grown from a manufacturer of men's fine dress pants and slacks, into one of the most recognized and original apparel brands in the market. Haggar coined the term "slacks" in 1938 and continued to lead menswear innovation with the introduction of pre-cuffed pants, wash and wear pants, expandable waist pants, forever-prest pants, and wrinkle-free cotton casual pants. Haggar is the first apparel company to advertise in national magazines and on TV, adopt EDI and UPC technologies, ship pants pre hung, invent the size strip sticker, and offer jackets and pants as suit separates.
