Flex Collar Dress Shirts with Tekfit Stretch

Talon International, Inc. announced that PVH Corp. has launched its Van Heusen Flex Collar men's dress shirts in retail stores.  Flex Collar incorporates Talon's Tekfit® proprietary stretch technology, allowing expandable collar comfort with half inch of stretch.  As a man that wears dress shirts, and hates a tight fitting neckline, this sounds like a fantastic garment.

The Flex Collar men's dress shirt designed with Talon's Tekfit technology is said to provide men with an additional half inch of expanding collar comfort without wrinkling or compromising the collar structure. PVH also announced a comprehensive 360-degree marketing campaign that will support the launch of the Van Heusen Flex Collar shirt this fall and is anchored by a national commercial highlighting iconic tight collar moments from classic movies to popular TV shows.

Further, as a long-time sponsor of the New York Giants, Van Heusen unveiled branded in-stadium creative and various digital shorts shot at MetLife Stadium starring running back Rashad Jennings, guard Justin Pugh, center Weston Richburg, linebacker Devon Kennard, defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins and New York Giants' legend Jessie Armstead. The unique and humorous videos showcase the players in situations where extra space equals more comfort and will be shown on local New York media and across the brand's social media channels.

According to David Sirkin, President of Dress Shirts at PVH Corp. " currently at three key retailers Kohl's, J.C. Penney, and Macy's, the Flex Collar shirt has received positive reaction from customers. If the trend continues, 2016 could be an even stronger roll out of the product. We are also exploring incorporating Tekfit into our other brands as we focus on product innovation and market leadership."

The Tekfit technology transforms an otherwise non-stretchable fabric into a fabric with the ability to stretch and recover, resulting, in this instance, in an unusually comfortable, flexible shirt collar without compromising the style, look or feel of the garment; only the wearer knows the stretch is there.
