After IPOing in February of 2006, Crocs (CROX) has grown bigger than many big-name apparel makers. Within the last six months, the company has overtaken Guess? (GES), Liz Claiborne (LIZ), Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH) and Under Armour (UA) to name a few. Below is a list of major US apparel makers sorted by market cap. As shown, CROX is fifth on the list, well behind Nike (NKE) and Coach (COH), but not too far behind VF Corp (VFC) and Polo Ralph Lauren (RL) the way CROX has been moving.
I think you incorrectly left off Lulu Lemon (lulu) from your master list. Lulu went public in July of this year and the market cap/ stock price has appreciated significantly.

Terry,
In our list we only looked at US companies. While LULU trades in the US, it is a Canadian comapny based in Vancouver.

Crox is a must buy. I have done calculation for CROX with its P/E and earning growth and the number is pretty.

I didn't see Gap on there, but I think that they'd probably be in the top 10, if not the top 5.

Crocs seems to be making a lot of money right now, don't they? It amazes me the level of benefits and profits that they are making. Envy? Nooo.
