Izod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Izod is a premium clothing company that produces dressy-casual clothing similar to brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Eddie Bauer and LL Bean.
In the early 1900's, Vin Draddy, an American businessman started a men's apparel business and needed a strong name to associate with his quality merchandise. Vacationing in London, he encountered a tailor shop in London, Jack IZOD's. Jack, a well-respected tailor who made custom shirts for King George VI and other royalty, was ready to retire and accepted Vin's offer to purchase the rights to his distinctive name.
