National Suit Drive during the month of September - Men's Warehouse
At Men's Wearhouse, we know that not being dressed appropriately can affect employment opportunities. Although we donate millions of dollars of our slow-moving merchandise, we are not able to provide professional attire for many men across the nation. That's why we have started hosting an annual National Suit Drive during the month of September.

We partner with over 200 nonprofit organizations across the country to distribute the gently used, professional clothing items we collect to men transitioning into the workforce. For many of these men in crisis, the clothing they receive will give them a first confident step towards a second chance, while the nonprofit services provided will help transform them on their road to self-sufficiency. We are confident that the impact made by helping these men become independent will positively affect their families and their communities.

Participate in our National Suit Drive and donate your clothing:

Every little bit helps.

3. Right now, suits are hot sellers at Goodwill and other Thrift Shops.
Edited on Thu Sep-03-09 03:07 PM by MineralMan
There are always some very nice ones in perfect condition on the racks. Prices are good, and all the rest of the outfit is also available.

I've noticed a lot more people browsing the suit racks lately. My one suit came from a Goodwill rack. It's a Hart Shaffner Marx in charcoal and it fit perfectly when I tried it on. I don't think it had been worn more than half a dozen times. Outstanding stuff. The price: $19.95.

My tux, which no longer fits, I fear, also came from the Goodwill rack. I went in there one day and some formal wear place had dumped about 60 used tuxes on Goodwill. It took me about 10 minutes to find one that fit well. Each one had the jewelry in the pocket and a cummerbund. The shirts were over on the dress shirt rack. Those tuxes were $15. What a deal! I need to find another one for use in crashing big galas.

4. Really, class action? Or do we need to litigate on our own?

9. That's great!
I know of several programs for women who need clothing for interviews/work, but this is the first I've heard about one for me. Good on Men's Wearhouse.
