PROFILE |
 |
Jockey International has nothing to do with horses, a little to do with baseball (Babe Ruth and Jim Palmer were both company spokesmen), and everything to do with the classic men's brief (its invention). The firm makes men's, women's, and children's underwear and loungewear, sold through some 14,000 department and specialty stores. It licenses and distributes its products in more than 120 countries. Jockey International also holds licensing agreements, including one to make Tommy Hilfiger underwear. Chairman and CEO Debra Waller and her family own the company. Jockey International was founded in 1876 as a hosiery company intended to relieve lumberjacks of blisters and infections resulting from shoddy wool socks.
