PVH Corp., the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, announced on November 12, 2026, that it plans to cut approximately 4% of its global workforce. The reduction will primarily affect non-customer-facing positions, representing about 12% of the company’s office-based employees.

Based on PVH’s previously reported workforce of approximately 26,000, the cuts could affect roughly 1,040 positions worldwide. The company hasn’t confirmed a final layoff count.

Some changes are beginning immediately, with the remaining workforce reductions expected in the first quarter of 2027.

PVH says the restructuring will simplify operations, reduce duplicated work and generate at least US$100 million in pre-tax cost savings in fiscal 2027 through workforce and other changes.

PVH has not confirmed how many Canadian employees, if any, will be affected. The company has operations in Toronto and Montreal but hasn’t published a location-by-location breakdown.

The restructuring was confirmed in PVH’s November 12 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
