A little history: founded in the 1920s, the original parent company (known in the 1960s as Henry I. Siegel Co., or H.I.S.) produced jeans under department store brand names, later creating the “Chic” label in the 1970s with a focus on being “proportioned to fit,” which any tall or petite girl can tell you, is a critical — possibly genius, for the time — selling point.
Headquartered in New York but with production in Tennessee, by the mid-1980’s Chic was America’s third-largest manufacturer of women’s jeans, behind Levi Strauss and H.D. Lee.
