Clothing Stores for Men

Sorry gentlemen… although both men & women wear clothing, the majority of industry news and blog posts regarding fashion are regarding “women’s fashion”.  Yes, we agree that this is border line unfair to men.  However, it is important to keep in mind that women tend to shop for clothing more frequently than men.  Obviously that is a general statement and is not always the case.  Some men shop more often than women, but we can possibly agree that the majority of shopping is traditionally done by females.  This would include mothers purchasing apparel for their boys and wives purchasing clothes for their husbands.

Although style bloggers typically write news geared toward the womenswear market, we sometimes write about men’s fashion as well.  If you enjoy men’s style, the good news is that this particular post is regarding shopping for “men’s clothing”.  So let’s get to it.

Where is the best place to shop for men’s clothing?

To answer this question we should first figure out if men prefer to purchase online or in actual clothing stores.  Maybe we should take a fashion survey on this topic.  OK, since we don’t actually have a survey completed, maybe we should move onto an easier question first.

Where can we find men’s clothing stores?

This is pretty easy.  We can use Bing or Google to search for “men’s clothing stores”.  Simply toss that term into the search engine and there you go.  The search results have been getting better as years pass.  These search engines may actually track your location and give you retailers in your general vicinity.  Another way to investigate places to shop would be the directory section here on Apparel Search.  The retailer section is organized in a few ways.  You can find resources by location or store name.  We also provide a retail by category section.  In the by category section you can find clothing stores for men.

Menswear Boardroom Battle Between Fine Clothiers

The Men's Wearhouse today announced that it has proposed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers common stock.  The interesting part of this story is the fact that Jos. A. Bank Clothiers recently attempted to take over the Men’s Wearhouse.  It appears as if this menswear retailer does not plan to go down without a fight.

The Men's Wearhouse proposal represents a 45% premium over Jos. A. Bank's unaffected enterprise value and a 32% premium over Jos. A. Bank's closing share price on October 8, 2013, the day prior to the public announcement of Jos. A. Bank's proposal to acquire Men's Wearhouse.  

"Following Jos. A. Bank's unsolicited public proposal to acquire Men's Wearhouse, our Board of Directors evaluated a number of alternatives to deliver value to our shareholders," said Bill Sechrest, Lead Director of the Board of Men's Wearhouse.  "After a thorough review, our Board concluded that an acquisition of Jos. A. Bank by Men's Wearhouse has strategic logic and the potential to deliver substantial benefits to our respective shareholders, employees and customers.  In reaching our determination, we considered a number of factors including Men's Wearhouse's advantage in scale, growth and performance, long history as a prudent steward of capital, successful acquisition track record and experienced management team.  We believe we are the right acquiror for this combination and that our experienced management team is best positioned to execute the integration of our companies and achieve the synergies that would result.  We are ready to engage with the Jos. A. Bank's Board immediately." 
Doug Ewert, President and Chief Executive Officer of Men's Wearhouse, said, "Our compelling proposal provides Jos. A. Bank's shareholders with a substantial premium and immediate liquidity for their investment.  The transaction will be substantially accretive to Men's Wearhouse's earnings in year one, and the combined company will have a strong balance sheet with the operational flexibility to successfully execute on its strategic plan.  Together, we can create the premier men's apparel retailer, with enhanced scale and a broader best-in-class offering for our valued customers, which we expect to drive significant shareholder value."

Let the battle begin.  Who do you think will win this fashion industry brawl?

As indicated in the press release from The Men’s Wearhouse, “The Men's Wearhouse management team has a proven track record of successful acquisitions, having integrated more than 600 stores and over 7,000 employees in connection with its previous acquisitions of Joseph Abboud, After Hours and Moores.  Men's Wearhouse would expect a smooth integration, as there will be no rebranding or remodels required – Jos. A. Bank's store banner would remain in place.  Management would consist of the most qualified individuals from both companies, and Men's Wearhouse is confident that its deep-rooted corporate culture of customer service will appeal to Jos. A. Bank employees and customers, and that implementing the best practices of both companies will drive operational and financial success.”
