Hanes: An American Brand that has Transcended Over 120 Years of History

The company was founded in 1901 by Pleasant Henderson Hanes and his brother, John Wesley. They established a company called 'P.H. Hanes Knitting Company' to manufacture men's underwear. The Hanes brand began when they remodeled a tobacco factory in the Winston-Salem area of North Carolina into a sewing factory and started manufacturing underwear.
