Blog: Get 50% Off At Men's Wearhouse By Donating To Suit Drive

By Jim Donovan: Men's Wearhouse is in the midst of its eighth annual National Suit Drive, an initiative that collects donations of gently-used professional attire for unemployed Americans.

Clothing collected at Men's Wearhouse stores between now and July 31st, will be distributed to over 180 local non-profit organizations that provide job-ready skills, training and seminars to disadvantaged men and women entering or re-entering the workforce.

Consumers can donate their gently-used professional clothing including men's and women's suits, ties, jackets, shirts, pants, belts and shoes, at over 900 Men's Wearhouse locations across the country. As a thank you, donors will receive 50 percent off the regular retail price of their next purchase from Men's Wearhouse (excluding shoes, clearance and Exceptional Value items).

This year, the National Suit Drive is partnering with DeMarco Murray to help spread the word. "Whether 'suiting up' on the field or off, I've felt first-hand the confidence a suit provides and how it helps you perform at your personal best," said Murray. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with the National Suit Drive to give other men throughout the nation the ability to recognize their dreams – and achieve them."

Men's Wearhouse is encouraging people to share the #giveasuit post found on their Facebook page. For every share, the company will donate $1 (up to $25,000) to the local nonprofits they have partnered with.
