What is WEIS?
WEIS menswear is the core collection of Gebr. Weis GmbH, a family-rooted tailored clothing maker based in Kleinwallstadt, Bavaria. The company was founded in 1936 by the Weis brothers and later taken over by a son-in-law.
Products and positioning
The WEIS line is the company's basic collection of men's outerwear and tailoring, recently modernised and updated with a new elastic shoulder construction. The company's focus areas include:
- Suits, blazers and coats
- Specialist plus-size menswear
- Traditional Tracht and Janker jackets as a separate business
- A sustainability line using largely recycled materials
Alongside WEIS, the company runs the more fashion-oriented WHITE BROS. label and the freenamik suit concept.
Distribution
Gebr. Weis supplies retailers and key accounts in Germany, Scandinavia, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, working with agencies across these markets, and also supplies specialist large-size retailers. It runs its own online shop and offers EDI ordering to business customers.
Why it matters
With about 45 staff in Germany and around 250 at its own production site in Vietnam, Gebr. Weis is an example of a mid-sized German tailoring company that controls its manufacturing while serving specialist niches such as larger sizes.
