JoS. A. Bank Clothiers Announces 23.6% Increase in March Sales and
Revises Earnings Guidance Upward; Comparable Store Sales Rise 10.3%

    HAMPSTEAD, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 7, 2004--JoS. A. Bank
Clothiers, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market:JOSB) announces that its total
sales for the fiscal month ended April 3, 2004 (fiscal March 2004)
increased 23.6% to $29.9 million compared with $24.2 million in March
2003. Comparable store sales increased 10.3% when compared with March
2003, while combined catalog and internet sales increased 18.7%.
    "Due to strong sales and gross profit margin increases in February
and March 2004, we have increased our earnings guidance for the first
quarter of fiscal 2004 to a minimum of $0.34 per diluted share," said
David E. Ullman, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers. "This would represent an increase of at least
70% in earnings per share when compared with diluted earnings per
share of $0.20 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, and the gain would
represent the Company's eleventh consecutive quarter of double digit
percentage increases in earnings per share," continued Mr. Ullman.
    The Company also noted that sales were strongest in spring fashion
items, including sportcoats and new sportswear items such as the
wrinkle resistant cotton pique shirts and cotton trousers that are
part of its Traveler program. Increased demand for the Company's
luxurious Signature and Signature Gold suits also continued to drive
sales gains.
    Total sales for the two months ended April 3, 2004 increased 35.4%
to $53.9 million compared with $39.8 million in the comparable prior
year period. Comparable store sales increased 19.8% in the two months
ended April 3, 2004 when compared with the comparable prior year
period, while combined catalog and internet sales increased 25.3%.
