IZOD is an iconic American lifestyle brand known predominantly for its clean-cut, sporty aesthetic, including its signature polo shirts, golf wear, and casual sportswear. Originally founded in London as a tailoring shop, the brand revolutionized the American market in the mid-20th century under the direction of the David Crystal Company. For decades, it was famously linked with the Lacoste brand (Izod-Lacoste) before the two split in the early 1990s.

Today, the brand operates as a global fashion entity with manufacturing occurring in various countries across Central America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East to meet international demand. The brand focuses on mid-range price points, offering a mix of performance fabrics and classic styles for men and women.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned from PVH Corp. to Authentic Brands Group (ABG) as part of a strategic acquisition in 2021. This move placed IZOD within a massive portfolio of worldwide lifestyle and entertainment brands, where it continues to expand its reach through various licensing and distribution agreements.
