Business Description

Tailored Brands is a leading North American menswear retailer and formalwear rental provider operating a portfolio of well-known banners: Men’s Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank, Moores and K&G Fashion Superstore. The company offers tailored clothing, dress shirts, formalwear, sportscoats, pants, outerwear, footwear and expanding polished casual assortments through more than 1,000 largely off-mall stores and integrated e-commerce platforms. Its model combines high-touch service from experienced sales consultants and on-site tailors with vertically integrated retail and rental capabilities.

Revenue is driven by both everyday wardrobe needs and predictable, high-intent occasions such as weddings, school events and professional milestones. Competitive advantages include scale, a national distribution and reverse logistics network purpose-built for rental, strong private-label penetration, and consistent store-level profitability. The business is organized into two reportable segments: Specialty Menswear (Men’s Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank and Moores) and K&G.
