MAILE style GmbH

What MAILE style GmbH does

MAILE style GmbH is a German made-to-measure tailoring company headquartered in Rottach-Egern am Tegernsee, founded in Munich in 1995 and reestablished under current ownership in 2019. The company offers custom-made suits, jackets, trousers, waistcoats, shirts, formal wear, and handcrafted shoes, each constructed to individually captured measurements using computer-aided manufacturing combined with skilled craftsmanship at European production facilities. The product platform is unified by a central measurement database that lets customers reorder or vary past garments without repeat fittings, supported by an integrated catalog of approximately 10,000 fabrics sourced from premium European weavers such as Scabal, Loro Piana, Ermenegildo Zegna, and Holland & Sherry.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with no published price list; revenue is generated one garment at a time from individual customers, with per-order upcharges for customizations such as buttonholes, embroidery, hand edge stitching, and lining choices, plus a small surcharge for extended-fabric selection services. Customer acquisition is entirely organic — there is no social media presence, paid advertising, or outbound sales; the company relies on word-of-mouth referrals, a comprehensive website, and inside sales via phone and email consultation. Worldwide shipping is supported from a single showroom location at Lake Tegernsee that is open by appointment only. The customer base is predominantly DACH-region men seeking business, formal, and casual luxury attire, plus a long-tail of repeat customers replenishing wardrobes over multiple years.

Operational footprint is small (11-50 employees, single showroom), and the company has no external investors or parent entity. Production capacity is stated at up to 50 individual garments per day with a roughly 6-week delivery lead time. Production has gradually shifted from domestic (German) partners to European neighbors as domestic suppliers exited the market in recent years.
