Tailored Brands has confidentially filed for an initial public offering in the US, returning to the public markets more than five years after emerging from bankruptcy.

The Houston-based company said it has submitted a draft registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tailored Brands exited bankruptcy in 2020 after struggling with declining demand for formalwear and the impact of pandemic-related store closures.

The business has since undergone leadership changes and operational adjustments as it works to stabilise and reposition the company.

Now led by CEO John Tighe, the retailer operates more than 1000 stores across North America. Its portfolio includes Men’s Wearhouse, Jos A Bank, Moores and K&G Fashion Superstore.

Confidential filings allow companies to prepare for a public listing without disclosing full details upfront.

Details including the number of shares and pricing have not yet been determined, and the filing remains subject to regulatory review.
