Izod

Izod (officially stylized as IZOD) is a clothing company that produces dressy-casual clothing, sportswear for men and women, golf for men and women, as well as footwear and accessories. It is part of PVH. It is perhaps best known for its short-sleeved piqué polo shirt, formerly produced by Lacoste and featuring the Lacoste crocodile on the left breast, now replaced with a color-matching/coordinating crest and left sleeve embroidery. One variation is the "IZ" patch instead of crest. This shirt, along with Ralph Lauren Polo, was popular in the 1970s and '80s among the preppy and Mod sets. Other Izod classics include the Harrington jacket G-9 model, also v-neck & cardigan sweaters. Today, the Izod brand competes with other similarly-priced brands such as Ralph Lauren's Chaps brand and U.S. Polo Assn..
