PVH = Calvin Klein + Arrow + IZOD + Tommy Hilfiger

I just bought a new pair of IZOD brand white coloured pants from The Bay.

It cost me $30 + tax.

Even though IZOD has been around since the 1930s I don't really recognize it much.

So I looked up their name on Wikipedia and it says that since 2010 they have been bought by Phillips-Van Heusen Corp (PVH).

And PVH also owns most of the other big name Men's fashion companies, like Tommy Hilfigre, Arrow (!), Calvin Klein, and Chaps.

They have manufacturing plants all over Asia, like China, Bangladesh, Philipines, etc...

So if you're wondering why everything looks the same, it's not just because all the designers go to the same trade shows. It's because, they're one and the same company.

See the Wikipedia article for yourself:

Anyways, I'm hoping that this Summer will be warm enough (less chemtrails) than the Spring has been so far.
