Men’s Wearhouse made history at its ninth annual National Suit Drive in July. The specialty retailer announced on Tuesday that over 800 Men’s Wearhouse collected over 260,000 articles of gently used men’s and women’s professional attire that will be given to job seekers in need of professional interview attire.

 
Since launching in 2008, the Men’s Wearhouse National Suit Drive has collected over 1.2 million donations. Each year, the specialty retailer partners with over 180 local non-profit organizations in the US that help assist unemployed individuals who are trying to get back into the workforce in order to distribute clothing donations to unemployed men and women in need and prepare them to re-enter the job market. The organizations also offer resume-building workshops, interview preparation and employment training programs.
 
"Our customers made this a record year for the National Suit Drive and their donations will help change lives. Together, we are giving men and women across the country the confidence they need for a new beginning," said Doug Ewert, CEO of Tailored Brands, Inc. "We thank our customers, as well as our network of non-profit partners who support our communities across the country."

Men’s Wearhouse is a subsidiary of Tailored Brands, Inc.
