Destination XL Group (DXL) is the only national specialty retailer focused exclusively on big + tall men's apparel in the U.S., targeting men who need pants with a 38"+ waist or tops sized 1XL and up. DXL sells a broad assortment of apparel and footwear across a "good/better/best" price framework, carrying roughly 90 national brands (Polo Ralph Lauren, The North Face, Carhartt) alongside its own private brands (Harbor Bay, Oak Hill, True Nation). DXL argues that a key differentiator is its proprietary fit construction — each size is built from unique specifications rather than scaled-up regular-size patterns — and estimates that more than 80% of its inventory is unavailable elsewhere. The company operates roughly 295 store locations across the U.S. and generates approximately 30% of revenue through its direct channel (dxl.com, plus third-party marketplaces including Amazon and Nordstrom). Private brands account for roughly 57% of sales and carry materially higher margins than national brands, and DXL is actively shifting its mix toward private brands to improve profitability. In December 2025, DXL announced an all-stock merger with FullBeauty, a private DTC retailer focused on plus-size women's and big + tall men's apparel with roughly $700M in annual sales and brands including Woman Within, KingSize, and Eloquii. The combined company would have roughly $1.2B in combined sales, with DTC representing approximately 73% of the total.
