The Hilton Legacy, Since 1888
The Hilton legacy began in 1888 when Joseph Hilton entered the menswear business along with his three brothers. Instead of traveling to all of his costumers on foot, he decided that he should open a gentleman's specialty shop where men could come and try on his wares instead of seeing only swatches and stylebooks. With this new strategy, Joseph build the Hilton name into a ten store business with shops in New York City and all of the five boroughs.

In 1947 Joseph's eldest grandson, Norman Hilton, entered the family business. After graduating from Princeton Undergraduate and Harvard Business School, his strong understanding of the Ivy League aesthetic allowed his brand to prosper to the point when there wasn't a quality menswear store in America that didn't carry Norman Hilton. It was Norman that invested in Ralph Lauren before anyone else and manufactured much of his collection during its early years.
