WEARABLE TECH SOLAR POWERED JACKETS FOR HOLIDAY 2014

Featuring an exclusive tartan developed by English wool mill Abraham Moon, the men’s and women’s jackets charge electronic devices by converting and reserving solar energy.

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS The Tommy Hilfiger Group, which is wholly owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], is pleased to announce the launch of a limited-edition solar-powered jacket, designed exclusively for the 2014 holiday season. The style features removable solar panels that provide energy to power electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. These specialty jackets will be available in select Tommy Hilfiger stores across Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, and online at tommy.com as of November 1, 2014.

“I’m excited to introduce wearable technology into our collection this Fall season,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “We were inspired by the fusion of traditional design techniques with technical mountaineering references. We also thought about what the adventurer of today would need and how our customers are interacting with technology in a more integrated way than ever before. Our solar power jacket celebrates classic design and tailored outerwear with innovative solar technology.”

The detachable solar panels snap easily on and off the back of the limited-edition jackets, while a cable running discreetly through the garment’s lining connects the panels to a removable battery pack in the jacket’s front pocket. A special snap-flap closure provides easy access to the battery pack, and its double USB port allows the user to conveniently connect it with up to two mobile phones, tablets or e-reader devices via USB cord. The battery pack can also be charged via a laptop or external power outlet, and when not in use, it stores energy for use at a later time.

The water resistant, lightweight removable solar panel unit is made with flexible amorphous silicon technology developed by Pvilion – a specialist in designing and manufacturing lightweight, portable solar products. When exposed to full sunlight, the high output solar cells can fully charge the battery pack which, in turn, can fully charge a standard 1500mAh mobile device up to four times.

The women’s three-quarter length jacket is made with bright blue nylon and an exclusive wool tartan developed by iconic British wool mill, Abraham Moon – one of the most prominent textile mills in England. The men’s jacket also features the tartan in a two-in-one design, and both the men’s and women’s styles include a removable bag for stowing the solar panels when not in use.

Tommy Hilfiger will donate 50% of the proceeds from the sale of each jacket to the Fresh Air Fund. Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer camp experiences – including the Tommy Hilfiger-sponsored Camp Tommy – to more than 1.8 million children from low-income communities in New York City
