ABOUT THIS BRAND
Munsingwear, Inc. was a Minneapolis-based designer, importer, manufacturer, marketer, and licenser of branded apparel for men, boys, and women. The company was for many years famous for its union suits, an undergarment consisting of an undershirt and underdrawers combined in a single garment. The company was also said to be the originator of the classic golf shirt.
The company had its beginnings in Minneapolis in 1886 when George D. Munsing, Frank H. Page, and Edward O. Tuttle formed a partnership to manufacture knit underwear for both men and women. The firm was incorporated in 1887 as Northwestern Knitting Company. In 1919 its name was changed to Munsingwear Corporation and in 1923 it was constituted as Munsingwear, Inc. The company acquired Rollins Hosiery Mills, Inc. (Des Moines, Iowa)(1945); the Vassar Company (Chicago, Ill.) (1951); and the Hollywood Maxwell Company (California)(1958).
By 1986 Munsingwear, Inc. consisted of two divisions. The men's division used the Munsingwear name and included the Grand Slam, Slammer USA, Cotton Classics, and Kangaroo lines of sport shirts and underwear, and sleepwear, underwear, and "rugged" sportswear marketed under the revived Northwestern Knitting Company name. The women's or intimate apparel division was marketed under the Vassarette Label and included brassieres, girdles, garter belts, camisoles, petticoats, full slips, teddies, tap or French pants, panties, body briefers, robes, gowns, and pajamas.
Munsingwear was acquired in 1996 by Supreme International, a Miami, Florida-based supplier of men's and boys' casual apparel.
GROUP PRODUCTS FOR QUANTITY DISCOUNTS
The Triple Crown Advantage is the ability to
group different products with the same logo application
for quantity discounts.
Example: Order one custom embroidered or
printed Munsingwear
product along with five different other products that will
receive the same logo and receive the 6+
quantity discount on each of the six products.
We feel our customers should save based on
the quantities in their entire order rather than
a single product.
This allows our customers to save money while
meeting the exact needs of each company.
HIGH QUALITY LOGO SET-UP AND APPLICATION
To get the most value out of each Munsingwear you
purchase, you need a high quality logo set-up
and application.
While logo set-up and application are not
comparative to rocket science, you would be
surprised what a big difference twenty-five
years of experience can bring to your products.
We are proud to have experienced employees
who care about the accuracy and quality of
each logo being set-up and applied to Munsingwear.
Even though we offer industry low prices on
products and logos, it is our focus on quality
and customer satisfaction that makes the
biggest difference to our customers.
