Major Abe Baum started the company after WWII. Major Baum led the ill-fated Task Force Baum in an attempt to liberate Patton's grandson, John K. Waters at the POW camp in Hammelburg. Baum was captured by the Germans, and shot in the groin. He was liberated 9 days later by the 14th Armored Division. After the war, he started the Major Blouse Company, so named because of his rank.
