Tailored Brands, Inc is the holding company for the stores formerly and still known today as the Men’s Wearhouse. The Men’s Wearhouse is specialty chain store retailing men’s tailored clothing in the United States.
It all started in the early 1970’s when George Zimmer had come back from Hong Kong, where he had set up a factory for his father’s raincoat manufacturing business. He became a representative for his father’s company selling boys’ raincoats in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. When a buyer at Foley’s in Houston, his biggest account, complained about racks of raincoats that were not being sold, George talked his father into taking the coats back, a $10,000 deal. When Foley’s dropped the raincoat line after that George was truly upset.
After that incident, Zimmer started with $7,000 and rented a small store front on the west side of Houston and stocked up on name-brand suits. In August 1973, he opened the first Men’s Wearhouse, selling the suits at costs way below the prices they sold for at department stores and Foley’s.
He still worked for his father’s raincoat business until they were able to find a replacement which took six months. Harry Levy, a good friend of Zimmer’s from college ran the store during the week for Zimmer and eventually became senior vice-president of planning. When George was finally able to devote his time completely to Men’s Wearhouse, he quickly opened two more stores and incorporated the company. He advertised with small advertisements in the Sunday sports section of local newspapers. In the first year Men’s Wearhouse had sales of $1 million and lost about $20,000. At a friend’s suggestion, he switched to TV, with inexpensive ads and buying unsold commercial spots at a discount.
By 1981, Men’s Wearhouse expanded to 12 stores and by the end of 1985 the chain had grown to 25. Management’s strategy was to be like the old time men’s clothing store around the corner, with the big difference of adding price as a key focus. The company targeted the moderate-income professional and semi-professional male worker. The stores were located in mid-sized cities to take advantage of advertising and distribution along with the convenience to get to the store. The product line was increased by adding to its line of suits including sport coats, dress shirts, dress slack and offering accessories like belts and ties.
Men’s Wearhouse grew quickly in the 1990’s and on average opened one store per week for the next eight years. They also began selling dress shoes to go with their suits. In that decade they also branched out to Los Angeles and New York, and revenues skyrocketed exceeding $1 billion for the first time.
In the early 2000’s Men’s Wearhouse launched their website and also started the Perfect Fit Program which was to reward customers for their loyalty. Today, they are still growing and very successful. One in five suits bought in the US is from Men’s Wearhouse, which is now one of the largest specialty retailers of men’s apparel with over 1,200 stores across the nation. They still have great quality suits at great discounted prices. They have sales and specials quite often both in store and in their online store.
