Brand Story

“Two Michigan grads — a data analyst and a hockey player — got tired of spending a fortune on custom tailoring. They prototyped dress shirts on pro athletes and built a brand for V-shaped bodies that traditional brands ignore.”

Notable Achievements
  • ◆$50-100M estimated annual revenue
  • ◆40+ retail locations across US, Canada, and UK
  • ◆Stores feature integrated bars and social atmosphere
  • ◆Leadership Development Program recruiting former athletes

  • ◆4-way stretch tuxedos
Key Differentiator
