Destination XL - Fashion Company Profile

Company Profile

The dated 2018 snapshot in the record below - store counts and the 'largest omni-channel specialty retailer' claim - belongs to its period; the group still trades as DXL today, and its current range is best checked on its own site, linked above. The five-brand structure the filing describes is set out in the profile below.

The name above the door is newer than the business, and the renaming notice proves it: in February 2013, Casual Male Retail Group, Inc. - itself described as the largest multi-channel specialty retailer of big & tall men's apparel and accessories - announced it would formally change its corporate name to Destination XL Group, Inc., to reflect the company's transition to its Destination XL (DXL) retail stores and DestinationXL.com e-commerce website. The Casual Male filing therefore lives in the C letter of this directory as the same company's earlier record, and the cross-reference between the two pages is in this page(?:'|')s links, so a reader arriving under either name finds both halves of the story.

Five Brands Under One Group

The operating structure as recorded is a five-brand house: the retailer operates under Destination XL (DXL), Casual Male XL, Rochester Clothing, ShoesXL and LivingXL. Read as a shopper meets them, the five names divide the big & tall wardrobe by job rather than by customer: DXL is the destination store concept carrying the full wardrobe; Casual Male XL is the inherited nameplate from the group's former corporate identity; Rochester Clothing carries the tailored and dress side; ShoesXL answers the footwear problem that big & tall men share with their clothing - extended sizes that general shoe stores rarely stock; and LivingXL extends the offer beyond apparel. The five are listed without elaborating each one(?:'|')s range: the list itself is the filed fact.

The assortment claim deserves its own emphasis, because it is the retail argument for a specialist: more than 2,000 private label and name-brand styles, blended into wardrobe solutions not available at traditional retailers. A big & tall department inside a general store is typically a rack or two of extended sizes in a few core styles; a destination format built only for this customer can carry depth - the same shirt in the full big and tall size curve, trousers by waist and length, jackets, shoes and accessories to complete an outfit. That depth, plus an e-commerce platform carrying the same range, is what the profile means by omni-channel, and why the 2018 filing leads with the store count and the style count together.
