A clothing company that makes Donald Trump-branded menswear is the latest to sever ties with the real-estate mogul, amid backlash over his disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants.

Forbes reports that PVH Corp, a clothing company that makes apparel for Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, announced Tuesday that it will not renew its contract to produce Donald Trump Signature Collection dress shirts and ties.

PVH is the latest company to wind down business ties with Trump following the real estate mogul's comments in his campaign launch speech, during which he said many Mexican immigrants are "rapists" and drug-runners.

A spokesperson for PVH noted that Macy's - which announced last week that it was ending its business relationship with Trump - is the only retailer that carries the Donald Trump Signature Collection.

"Mr. Trump and Macy's have both addressed the discontinuation of the Trump business at Macy's, which was the exclusive retail account for the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection dress shirt and neckwear collections produced under our license agreement for the brand," a spokesperson for PVH said.

For his part, Trump was reserved about the news, telling Forbes that the company was "very nice."
