John Tighe, president of Tailored Brands, parent of Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, was similarly pleased with Father’s Day sales. The continued popularity of summer weddings as well as the back-to-work trend led consumers to shop for unconstructed soft jackets and blazers with Joseph Abboud linen suits and Made in America suit separates among the top performers.

Ties, which were incredibly strong last year, still did well but not at the same level as in 2022 when weddings were at their peak, he said.

Tighe also singled out Egara, the stores’ younger-skewed tailored clothing and furnishings brand — much of it in bright colors — as doing well thanks to proms and graduations. He also said the grooming business, led by fragrance as well as Man Bar, a soap from the San Francisco Soap Company, as well as other products from Manscaped, did well.

Sportswear, driven by a promotion the company ran last month, was another strong category at both Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank, leading the company to feel optimistic about the future.
