Jacob Golomb, a seventeen-year-old avid swimmer, was not satisfied by the quality of swimsuits available so he began making them in 1910.
He guaranteed that his swimsuits would last for an entire year. To further emphasize this guarantee, he named the swimsuits Everlast.
Over the following years, Golomb turned the company into a retail store that sold all manner of sporting goods.
In 1917 Jack Dempsey introduced Golomb to boxing when he asked him to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds.
Golomb designed the protective gear, and in 1919 Dempsey won the world heavyweight championship wearing Everlast Gloves.
In 1958 Ben Nadorf purchased 50% of the company from founder Jacob Golomb.
In 1995 Ben Nadorf became the sole owner of the company.
In 2007 UK-based Brands Holdings acquired Everlast.
Today Everlast Worldwide sells its products through department and sporting goods stores, as well as through catalog retailers and online through their website. Everlast’s name is known worldwide for boxing and mixed martial arts equipment.

Hi
I am wanting to contact/email someone who deals with individual sponsorships and advertising/marketing. I have come across numerous tel. numbers and addresses so unsure where to start.
Can you please point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks

Purchased Elite Body Protector. Damaged. Had to see it before it went into box. Had to fight to not pay for it. Had to jump through hoops afterward about a pair of mitts. Everlast has gone way down in terms of product quality and customer service.

I am very disappointed with a pair of boxing gloves I bought online on 16/04/18. Which I then used while in the uk but to my astonishment the top part of the glove the stitching has come apart, I called your customer service number and spoke to Cody who informed me that You only have a 120 Day return policy. I would like to keep your good company name up but after hearing this news I have my doubts I have enclosed a picture of the glove
