JoS. A. Bank Clothiers Introduces the “Risk Free” Suit Promotion; Will Give Money Back if Customer Loses His Job

HAMPSTEAD, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 2009--JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: "JOSB") announces a first-time ever program that will refund the price of a suit if the purchaser loses his job, and also allow him to keep the suit.

“We believe we are the only national men’s apparel company offering this special program to its customers,” stated R. Neal Black, CEO of JoS. A. Bank. “At JoS. A. Bank we understand the uncertainty everyone is facing. We want to help the customer look good at work, and if he loses his job, to be dressed appropriately as he meets with his next employer. It’s like giving all of our customers a bit of unemployment insurance,” continued Mr. Black.

The special rebate offer applies to any suit (or suit separates coat plus pants) purchased during the JoS. A. Bank $199 Sale, from March 16, 2009 through April 9, 2009. If the customer involuntarily loses his job between April 16, 2009 and July 1, 2009, JoS. A. Bank will refund the price he paid for the suit, up to a maximum of $199, and he may keep the suit. This offer requires the customer to provide certain documentation when requesting a rebate. For further details, please refer to the JoS. A. Bank website at www.josbank.com
