Haggar celebrated its 100th anniversary with an official gala in Dallas on Wednesday. Founded in 1926, the company now operates under Randa Apparel & Accessories and maintains annual sales exceeding $750 million.
Why it matters
The milestone highlights a century of market growth that saw the company capture a 24 percent share in dress pants and patent over 50 clothing innovations. This legacy has helped the firm maintain relevance as nearly half of its customer base now falls within the 18 to 44 age demographic.
Haggar holds a 24 percent market share in dress pants and 11 percent in sport coats. Nearly 48 percent of the brand's consumers over the last year were between 18 and 44 years old.
