Item 7.01 -Regulation FD Disclosure

The Company will be presenting a slide presentation to various investment groups at upcoming investor conferences beginning May 22, 2014. The Company has updated its forward-looking information slide to add information regarding non-GAAP financial measures and has added two new slides to its current presentation. A copy of the slides is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

One of the slides includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures are useful as an additional means for investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results, when reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, is included as Appendix A to the investor presentation. A copy of the Appendix A slide is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The full slide presentation is available on the investor relations page of the Company’s website at www.destinationxl.com.

The slides contained in the exhibit include statements intended as “forward-looking statements,” which are subject to the cautionary statement about forward-looking statements set forth in the exhibit. The additional slides are being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD. Accordingly, the slides will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference. The furnishing of these slides is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by the Company that the information in the slide presentation is material or complete, or that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to the Company.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated. Such risks and uncertainties may include, but are not limited to: the failure to implement the Company's business plan for increased profitability and growth in the Company's retail stores sales and direct-to-consumer business, the failure to achieve improvement in the Company's competitive position, changes in or miscalculation of fashion trends, extreme or unseasonable weather conditions, economic downturns, a weakness in overall consumer demand, trade and security restrictions and political or financial instability in countries where goods are manufactured, increases in raw material costs from inflation and other factors, the interruption of merchandise flow from the Company's distribution facility, competitive pressures, and the adverse effects of natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or threats of either, or other armed conflict, on the United States and international economies.
