Haggar Corporation
Biography
During World War II, the Haggar Corporation of Dallas, Texas, contributed to the United States war effort through the large-scale production of military uniforms and clothing. Operating its factories twenty-four hours a day, the company manufactured more than ten million uniforms for the U.S. armed forces. The increased production capacity and industrial experience gained during the war helped position Haggar as a major force in the American apparel industry in the postwar period, when it became one of the world's leading manufacturers of men's slacks.
