JoS. A. Bank Clothiers Kicks Off 2010 Miracle Tie Campaign for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center

HAMPSTEAD, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 25, 2010--JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: JOSB), in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center (“Hopkins Children’s Center”), today announces the kick off of its annual Miracle Tie Collection program which benefits pediatric patients at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.

The national program, now in its 15th year, raises money for Hopkins Children's Center through sales of specially designed ties. These ties are sold in all of the Company’s 498 JoS. A. Bank stores and through its catalog and E-commerce website. JoS. A. Bank will donate profits from the sale of these ties to Hopkins Children's Center.

The Miracle Tie Collection includes 17 product offerings in nine distinct designs. The design of the line of silk neckties was inspired by the artwork of patients at Hopkins Children's Center. This artwork represented drawings of the children's favorite activities or things.

Profits donated by the Company through the sale of these ties will go toward research and patient care at Hopkins Children's Center. Since the program was established in 1995, JoS. A. Bank has contributed approximately $700,000 to Hopkins Children's Center for research and patient care.

“We are pleased to continue to be a part of this very worthwhile event with the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center,” stated R. Neal Black, CEO of JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. “The Miracle Tie program provides an excellent opportunity for the Company to give back to the community in a significant way. Further, it is especially rewarding to be able to provide this financial support to these children who are greatly in need of help,” continued Mr. Black.

“JoS. A. Bank’s Miracle Tie Collection® has changed lives at Hopkins Children's Center,” says George Dover, M.D., director and pediatrician-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. “Each Miracle Tie artist is filled with a tremendous sense of pride in his or her work, and JoS. A. Bank should be proud of the difference they have made to support pediatric patient care.”

Founded in 1912 as the children’s hospital of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, the Johns Hopkins Children's Center offers one of the most comprehensive pediatric medical programs in the country, treating more than 70,000 children each year. U.S. News & World Report ranks Hopkins Children's Center among the top ten children's hospitals in the nation. Hopkins Children's Center is Maryland's largest pediatric hospital and is the only state-designated Trauma center for children in Maryland.
