The fashion and lifestyle brand Perry Ellis International, Inc, has again partnered with Peerless Clothing International for tailored clothing.
The collaboration with Peerless Clothing International is intended to provide tailored fashion options for the company’s top brands, namely Perry Ellis and Original Penguin.
The two companies have a long history, and this partnership marks the return of Peerless Clothing International to the PEI portfolio. The PEI says the idea was to once again bring together Perry Ellis and Original Penguin’s iconic American style, with Peerless’ craftsmanship for a new era of tailored clothing.
The product categories to be launched include suit separates, nested suits, tuxedos, sport coats, and men’s top coats.
This collaboration also marks a significant milestone for both brands in the USA and Canadian markets, showcasing an expansion of each brand’s lifestyle offerings.

Oscar Feldenkreis, President and CEO of Perry Ellis International Inc., says each brand brings its own style to the new collections. Perry Ellis, known for its modern elegance in menswear, contributes an elevated edge to the collaboration, ensuring the collection embodies a classic American style. On the other hand, Original Penguin’s heritage-inspired designs will infuse a casual, fun-loving spirit into the partnership. The tailored clothing collections will make their in-store debuts in Spring 2024.
“As we step into this new era of collaboration with Peerless Clothing International, we are invigorated by the opportunity to reintroduce our signature Perry Ellis and Original Penguin styles in the world of tailored clothing,” Feldenkreis said. “This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering quality and style to our loyal customers, and we look forward to a bright future together.”
While Perry Ellis brings its own style and fashion flair to the partnership, Peerless Clothing brings a high level of craftsmanship.
Peerless Clothing International is a leader in tailored clothing across North America, and has established an extremely high bar for quality in the industry. For numerous years, Peerless has been the foremost supplier to major department and specialty stores in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The company says this partnership represents a significant stride toward enhancing its already formidable foothold in the tailored clothing segment, solidifying their position as an industry leader.
“After 25 years, we’re back together. Peerless Clothing International now holds the Perry Ellis Tailored Clothing license, combining Perry Ellis’ style with Peerless’ craftsmanship for a new era of collaboration,” said Peerless Clothing president Dan Orwig.
