# DXL Group

> Destination XL Group is a publicly traded U.S. specialty retailer focused on Big + Tall men's apparel and footwear. DXL combines nearly 300 stores with an e-commerce site, app and third-party marketplaces, selling private labels and more than 100 national brands in extended sizes. Its edge is fit expertise: garments use size-specific specifications rather than simply scaling standard patterns, and its FiTMAP technology turns a contactless body scan into recommendations across multiple brands. The company generated $435.0 million in fiscal 2025 sales while navigating weaker discretionary spending and an unresolved proposed combination with FullBeauty Brands.
