Founded in Chicago in 1887 by immigrant brothers Harry and Max Hart, Hart Schaffner Marx established itself as a cornerstone of American menswear. The company pioneered innovations like the first tropical-weight wool suits, suits tailored for different body types, and the use of zippers in trousers. With a steadfast commitment to quality craftsmanship, the brand grew into one of the world's largest suit manufacturers, building a reputation for durable, well-fitting garments made from fine materials. Historically significant, the company was central to the 1910 Chicago garment workers' strike, which resulted in a landmark collective bargaining agreement that improved labor conditions across the industry.
