The business is known as a designer and manufacturer of men's sports coats and men's and women's tailored clothing. It also licenses manufacturers in other countries to spread the Blacker imprint. They produce a wide array of apparel, from sportswear and dress shirts to women's walking shorts and socks.

After serving in the Army in World War II, he joined his father at Blacker Brothers, a clothing firm where he became familiar with all the aspects of the trade and rose to president.
