Majority of men feel confident when wearing a suit

- Close to seven in 10 men who own suits (68 percent) admit they don’t currently wear all their suits, and the oldest suit they have hanging in their closet is nine years old.

- Close to four in 10 of suit owners (35 percent) admit that some of their suits no longer fit them.

Men say they would donate old suits to a cause that supports the disadvantaged.

-Nearly half of guys (46 percent) who don’t wear some of the suits they own admit they’ve kept them simply because they never really thought about getting rid of these pieces.

-But men are willing to give away their gently used suits to someone who can get more use out of them. Close to half (43 percent) of suit-wearing men have plans to give away some of their suits.

The survey results prove the importance of looking sharp in a great suit and verify the widespread habit American men have of holding on to professional attire too long — two factors that support the need for the annual Men’s Wearhouse National Suit Drive.

To give men the opportunity to donate those suits they’ve been holding on to for too long, Men’s Wearhouse is holding its sixth annual National Suit Drive July 1—31, and is currently accepting gently used business attire at all of its locations. The donated items will be distributed to more than 150 nonprofit organizations around the country that provide assistance to at-risk men looking to re-enter the workforce.
