Tom Hartigan launched Thomas Hartigan Enterprises (T.H.E. Swimwear) from the attic of his home. Today, T.H.E. prides itself on producing the best quality swimwear on the market time and again.

It is continually upgrading and expanding itself to create new ideas and products, such as the Tuffy line. The Tuffy line includes 100% Polyester suits designed for Water Therapy & Aqua Aerobics Enthusiasts. It also includes T.H.E.'s tummy slimming design.

One of T.H.E.'s top priorities is to give the missy customer a flattering figure. Its swimsuits are designed to produce a proportionally fitted suit that camouflages negative features with prints. Its bathing suits are all designed with the purpose of giving women the most desirable form – the hourglass figure.
