MEN’S WEARHOUSE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2005 RESULTS

Conference call to discuss third quarter results at 5:00 pm eastern today

HOUSTON — November 16, 2005 — The Men’s Wearhouse (NYSE: MW) today announced its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended October 29, 2005.

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Third Quarter Sales Summary — Fiscal 2005
	U.S. dollars, in millions				Total Sales			Comparable Store
	Current Year		Prior Year		Change %			Sales Change %
Total Company	$	392.7	$	357.8		9.8	%
United States	$	348.7	$	318.5		9.5	%		6.6	%
Canada	$	44.0	$	39.3		12.1	%(A)		3.1	%

^(A) Total sales change % using Canadian dollars was 3.8%.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.44 for the third quarter ended October 29, 2005 compared to $0.23 last year. Net earnings were $24.1 million compared to $12.9 million last year. Excluding Eddie Rodriguez net operating losses and a charge related to the impairment of certain technology assets from last year, diluted earnings per share increased from $0.27 last year to $0.44 this year.

The 2005 third quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.44 are not directly comparable to the previous guidance for the third quarter of $0.33 to $0.35 per diluted earnings per share. The primary difference relates to the positive impact of a lower than expected effective tax rate for the third quarter. The company recognized an adjustment of $2.0 million to tax reserves associated with favorable developments on certain outstanding income tax matters, which added $0.04 to diluted earnings per share. The effective tax rate was also lower than previously estimated due to an increase in the estimated amount of tax exempt income for the current fiscal year. This caused net tax expense to be $0.9 million less than previously expected and added $0.02 to diluted earnings per share.

Excluding these tax related increases in 2005’s third quarter diluted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share were up 41% to $0.38 over comparable 2004’s third quarter results of $0.27 per diluted share excluding charges.

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

Nine Months Sales Summary — Fiscal 2005
	U.S. dollars, in millions				Total Sales			Comparable Store
	Current Year		Prior Year		Change %			Sales Change %

^(B) Total sales change % using Canadian dollars was 3.9%.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $1.28 for year-to-date ended October 29, 2005 compared to $0.84 last year. Net earnings were $71.2 million compared to $46.3 million last year. Excluding Eddie Rodriguez net operating losses in the prior and current years, and a charge related to the impairment of certain technology assets from last year, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased from $0.90 last year to $1.39 this year.

Additionally, excluding tax related increases in 2005’s third quarter diluted earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share were up 48% to $1.33 for the nine month period, compared to 2004’s nine month’s results of $0.90 per diluted share excluding charges.

2005 GUIDANCE

The Company closed all six of its Eddie Rodriguez stores by the end of the second quarter. There have been no additional losses on the Eddie Rodriguez stores, therefore, the loss for fiscal 2005 is expected to be $0.11 diluted earnings per share. The loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 was $0.02 and for the full fiscal year of 2004 was $0.05 diluted earnings per share.

For the fourth quarter, the Company expects diluted earnings per share in a range of $0.46 to $0.48 based on a 3% to 4% same store sales increase in the U.S. and 2% to 3% same store sales increases in Canada, an effective tax rate of approximately 39.0% and fully diluted shares outstanding of 54.1 million.

In the fourth quarter, the Company expects to incur additional taxes on dividends to be repatriated from its Canadian subsidiary under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Jobs Creation Act). The Jobs Creation Act created a one-time deduction for certain qualifying dividends from earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries that are repatriated during a one-year qualifying period. This special deduction will have the effect of substantially reducing the U.S. tax applicable to non-U.S. subsidiary earnings that are repatriated and eligible for this benefit. The Company anticipates repatriating approximately $75 million of its Canadian subsidiary earnings as dividends that will qualify under the Jobs Creation Act. The effect on the fourth quarter will increase the Company’s tax provision by an estimated $1.4 million, net of foreign tax credits, or the equivalent of $0.03 cents in diluted earnings per share which is included in our fourth quarter and full year 2005 guidance.

Page 2

For fiscal year 2005, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding the Eddie Rodriguez results, to be in a range of $1.85 to $1.87 based on high single digit same store sales increase in the U.S. and low single digit same store sales increase in Canada for the fiscal year. Including the Eddie Rodriguez net operating losses, the fiscal year 2005 adjusted diluted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $1.74 to $1.76. The Company’s full year 2005 guidance includes the effect of the previously discussed favorable tax events that occurred in the third quarter of 2005.

UNAUDITED NON-GAAP CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS
(A Non-GAAP Financial Measure)
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share information for the nine months ended October 29, 2005, the nine months ended October 30, 2004, the three months ended October 30, 2004, the three months ended January 29, 2005 and the twelve months ended January 29, 2005 in this press release in addition to providing financial results in accordance with GAAP. This information reflects, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, our net earnings and earnings per diluted share after excluding the net operating losses from the Eddie Rodriguez stores and the effects of a charge related to the impairment of certain technology assets. These losses were:

$6.3 million, net of tax, or $0.11 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 29, 2005

$3.3 million, net of tax, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended October 30, 2004

$2.1 million, net of tax, or $0.04 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2004

$0.9 million, net of tax, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004

$4.2 million, net of tax, or $0.08 diluted earnings per share for the full year of fiscal 2004

This non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP adjusted results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding an expense item that we believe is not indicative of our core operating results. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or as being superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP information to our actual results for the nine months ended October 29, 2005, the nine months ended October 30, 2004, the three months ended October 30, 2004, the three months ended January 29, 2005, and the twelve months ended January 29,2005 is as follows:
