H.I.S Jeans is a historic denim brand originally founded in New York City in 1923 by Henry I. Siegel. The brand name itself is an acronym for the founder's initials. While it began as a specialized workwear manufacturer, it rose to major prominence in the mid-20th century, particularly becoming a household name in the European market during the 1970s and 80s for its perfect-fit denim concepts.

Over the decades, the brand's headquarters shifted toward Europe as its popularity grew there. Today, the brand is managed under European ownership following various acquisitions to preserve its heritage in the global apparel market. Manufacturing takes place across multiple international locations, primarily in Asia and Turkey, to meet global distribution demands while maintaining the quality standards associated with the H.I.S legacy.
