Leh's Men's Sport Polo Shirt

Product Details & Size Guide

GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.

Celebrate a familiar name in Pennsylvania retail history with this Leh's Men's Sport Polo Shirt. Henry Leh began the business in Allentown in 1850, first selling ready-to-wear clothing and making footwear. A Civil War-era boot contract helped the company grow, and the downtown shop later became a department store serving generations of shoppers. From Hamilton Street to regional locations, Leh's remained part of local life until its stores closed in 1996. A thoughtful choice for collectors and fans of hometown history.

Henry Leh founded his store on April 25, 1850, at 626 Hamilton Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, initially selling ready-to-wear clothing and making boots and shoes. The early business, first called Neleigh & Leh, also manufactured footwear on the upper floors of its four-story building. During the Civil War, a Union Army boot contract helped strengthen the company, which employed about 175 people in manufacturing. The store expanded into a department store, and Horatio Koch became a partner after marrying Leh's daughter Sallie. In 1911, following Henry Leh's death in 1910, the remodeled H. Leh & Co. reopened with an expanded building; its shoe factory closed that year. The downtown store grew through further expansions, while satellite locations later opened in Quakertown in 1972, Whitehall Township in 1978, and Bethlehem in 1988. In 1992, co-owners John Leh II and William Leh bought out the Koch family's interest. The flagship closed in 1994, and the remaining department stores closed on June 29, 1996. The former five-story flagship was renovated for use by Lehigh County.
