Talon International, Inc. Announces Exclusive Agreement With PVH Corp. to Incorporate TekFit(R) Technology Into Men's Dress Shirts

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - May 11, 2015) - Talon International, Inc. (OTCQB: TALN), a leading global supplier of zippers, apparel fasteners, trim and stretch technology products, announced a definitive agreement with PVH Corp. (NYSE: PVH) to incorporate the Tekfit^® proprietary stretch technology into the collars of dress shirts. The agreement is exclusive in North America and non-exclusive in other select countries. 

"PVH is the largest shirt and neckwear company globally, with a portfolio of some of the best and well-known brands and licenses," stated Larry Dyne, Talon's Chief Executive Officer. "To have a partner like this in an exclusive supply agreement certainly identifies the uniqueness of Talon's Tekfit stretch technology and highlights its various applications. This agreement brings the unique, Tekfit stretch technology to millions of men's dress shirts, allowing expandable collar comfort with 1/2 inch of stretch. The license agreement also provides for PVH and Talon to co-brand the dress shirts in the United States to identify the Tekfit technology to assist consumers in identifying and choosing products with a Tekfit stretch collar."

Talon International's Tekfit products deliver cutting-edge innovation to the apparel industry. The Tekfit technology transforms an otherwise non-stretchable fabric into a fabric with the ability to stretch and recover, resulting, in this instance, in an unusually comfortable, flexible shirt collar without compromising the style, look or feel of the garment -- only the wearer knows the stretch is there.

"Talon is an ideal partner for PVH," stated David Sirkin, President, Dress Shirts for PVH Corp. "We believe that with the incorporation of Talon's unique Tekfit stretch technology into our Van Heusen dress shirts, we will be the first to bring an attractive and comfortable solution to the modern dress shirt. The FlexCollar is part of our continuing efforts to deliver innovative and differentiated product to our consumers."
