DALLAS, March 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Haggar Clothing Co. announced today that Lanny
Levine has been appointed senior vice president, managing director of The

in-stock," stated Frank Bracken, president and chief operating officer of
Haggar. "We are excited to have Lanny for this position because his background
matches the three keys so well."
Levine has been working with Haggar for the past year on global sourcing as

Levine also has experience in the denim business as Director of Product
Development and Sales for Swift Denim. He led development in fabric and
finishing techniques for customers such as Levi Strauss, Guess, Lee, and Gap.
Levine spent ten years with the Dockers division of Levi Strauss. He began
there as a sales executive managing accounts including JCPenney, Macy's and May
