JoS. A. Bank Clothiers Inc announces that it has further enhanced its Internet channel by allowing international customers to place orders on its website.

JoS. A. Bank is now able to deliver website orders to customers in over 90 countries. The orders may be placed directly by international customers or by U.S. customers who wish to deliver their orders to family or friends at international addresses. Customers can place international orders directly through the Company's website at www.josbank.com either by accessing this site from their local country or from the U.S. and then selecting the shipping destination.

"Our Direct Marketing sales increased 50% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are very excited about this added enhancement to our Internet channel," commented R. Neal Black, President and CEO of JoS. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. "This increased functionality will further extend the Jos. A. Bank brand to a broader customer base and will allow us to capitalize on a market that we were not able to serve in the past. Also, the enhancement will provide an additional feature to our current customers in the U.S. who want to deliver our products to family or friends in foreign destinations. While it is very early in the process, we are encouraged that we have already received orders from over 10 different countries," continued Mr. Black.

The Company will utilize a third party provider, FiftyOne Global Ecommerce, to facilitate the checkout of the orders and to export and deliver the orders to the international destinations. The Company's customers placing international orders can shop the JoS. A. Bank website in their selected currencies and see their complete order totals, including shipping fees, customs, tariffs and taxes when they check out.
