Company Profile
Current ranges and tuxedo rental are on the Men's Wearhouse website, linked above. As a retailer itself, Men's Wearhouse carries no Amazon/eBay shop box here - its own site is the destination. The ownership picture has changed twice since the earlier record: the parent, renamed Tailored Brands in 2016, filed Chapter 11 on August 2, 2020 and emerged that December as a private company, ending the NYSE: TLRD listing; in 2026 Tailored Brands filed for a proposed IPO to list on Nasdaq as MENW, operating more than 1,000 stores across its banners. The fuller record - the 1,758-store 2015 snapshot, the corporate apparel group and the March 2014 Jos. A. Bank acquisition - is kept in full on the history page.
Format differences inside the group are recorded carefully. Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores carry a limited selection rather than the full range, which is a tuxedo-led format distinction, and most K and G stores also carry a full selection of women's apparel, making that banner the group's value and family outlier. Tuxedo rentals are available in the Men's Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank, Moores and Men's Wearhouse and Tux stores, so the rental business, weddings, proms and formal events handled through hired garments rather than purchases, runs through nearly every banner the group operates, stitching the formal calendar into ordinary menswear retail.
