A Tiered Range for Professional Men

Jos. A. Bank organises menswear as a ladder. At the base sit the Business Express and Executive collections; the midrange Signature collection sits above them; Signature Gold is the high quality line; and the ultra premium Signature Platinum collection is offered at select flagship stores and online. A limited release called the Joseph collection, offering a European influenced cut and style, was also put into a few stores. That structure lets one retailer serve a man buying his first work suit and a man replacing a wardrobe of tailored clothing, with the price and cloth quality rising step by step inside the same store.

The product core is the professional wardrobe: suits, shirts, ties and sport coats, all bearing the company's label and targeted at male professionals. The name itself is a piece of branding care — the exact corporate name, as specified in its charter, is JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc., including the unusual abbreviation of Joseph with the S capitalised, although it is commonly pronounced Joseph A. Bank.

Made to Specification, Sold With Tailoring

Jos. A. Bank designs and specifies its clothing, which is manufactured by outside suppliers to company specifications, a model common to large menswear retailers. What happens in the store completes the product: tailoring services are provided at many locations, so a suit bought off the rail can be adjusted to the wearer, the step that makes standard sizes fit like personal clothing. Seven outlet stores sell excess merchandise at reduced prices, clearing stock outside the main chain of over 400 locations. The combination — tiered house lines, outside manufacture to specification, in-store tailoring and outlet clearance — is the complete retail system behind the name.
