CID Inc. has been in the fashion industry for over 20 years in various segments of the business such as; textile imports, distribution, and specializing in private label. Having lived in the U.K. for some time, the British influence is evident in the collections that offer a unique style balance that merge North American Retailers with the trend setting streets of London.

The vision is to create collections with great styling, impeccable workmanship combined with retailer’s fast growing need for margins that translate into better sell-through at the retail level. With a product mix of shirts, sport coats, trousers, waistcoats, knitwear and outerwear the line covers all components of menswear including accessories such as ties, scarves, hats, cuff-links, belts and eyewear.

Like its namesake, the Haight & Ashbury brand stands for a man comfortable in his skin, who is aware of his environment but not defined by it. He is self aware yet not self concerned. The H&A brand combines creativity and individuality. It offers a self-confident man to express his own style. H&A is unconventional, a label defined not by age group, but by attitude.
