Profile
Designs, sources, and sells Wrangler denim and western apparel plus Helly Hansen and Musto outdoor, sailing, and workwear products, primarily through wholesale channels. Lee is held for sale and reported as discontinued operations, while a small group of large retailers remains an important revenue base.
Designs, sources, markets, and licenses apparel, footwear, and accessories through Wrangler, Helly Hansen, and Musto. Wrangler spans denim, western lifestyle, and workwear; Helly Hansen covers technical outdoor, ski, sailing, and professional workwear; Musto specializes in sailing and outdoor apparel. Lee remains legally owned but is held for sale under an agreement with Authentic Brands Group and reported as discontinued operations.
Sells mainly through U.S. and international wholesalers, including mass merchants, outdoor and sporting-goods stores, specialty retailers, and department stores. Company-operated stores, concessions, e-commerce, and licensing add direct consumer reach, while Helly Hansen broadens exposure across Europe and other international markets.
Coordinates product development, sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution across owned facilities and third-party suppliers. Wholesale concentration, large retail customers, tariffs, and global sourcing costs remain structural dependencies.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
