It is specifically popular for weddings and school dances like prom, homecoming, and winter formal. After Hours also specializes in Black Tie and social events. They carry a full line of career apparel for both men and women in occupations requiring formal attire.

Originally known as Mitchell's Formalwear and founded in 1946, After Hours was the result of the acquisition by Mitchell's of fellow clothiers Small's and Tuxedo World in the late 1990s, and has since acquired and assimilated several other chains in the United States. After Hours was acquired by May Department Stores in 2001, and became a part of Federated Department Stores following that company's buyout of May in 2005. It operates over 450 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia. It was combined with David's Bridal when acquired by May, and during that time coordinated much of its inventory with David's Bridal.

On November 17, 2006, After Hours Formalwear was sold to Men's Wearhouse and David's Bridal was purchased along with sister division Priscilla of Boston by Leonard Green & Partners [http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=%7B1129F724-5EEA-43BC-9EA9-DCBEE75093EC%7D&siteid=google&sid=8455&symb= Story Not Found ] ]
