Moores Clothing For Men Partners With Kenneth Cole

Launches Exclusive Collection Benefitting Veterans

TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2015 /CNW/ -- Moores Clothing for Men, a subsidiary of The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. (NYSE: MW), and Kenneth Cole Productions have collaborated to launch the "AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole" collection, available exclusively at Moores stores across Canada.

This collection of tailored clothing, which includes suits retailing at $649, sport coats at $349, dress slacks at $149, ties at $65 and dress shirts at $89 in slim fits, is part of the company's ongoing goal of giving back to the communities in which it serves, as they partner with True Patriot Love Foundation to benefit military veterans.

"We are excited to partner with Moores Clothing for Men and bring tailored clothing to their customer while at the same time, be able to assist our veterans in their transition into the workforce," said Kenneth Cole, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Kenneth Cole Productions.  "We have always sought to make an impact on people's wardrobes, as well as communities in need, and are excited that this new partnership will do just that."

The collection benefits Canadian military veterans, a population that lacks significant supportive programs across the country. A one percent contribution from all everyday gross sales of "AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole" products will go toward helping veterans transition back into the workforce. True Patriot Love Foundation is a national charity that honours the sacrifices of members of the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans and their families in both times of peace and conflict. Proceeds from the sales will assist in the successful counseling and career placement for thousands of veterans, and provide transitional housing for those fighting homelessness.

"True Patriot Love is thrilled to be chosen as the Canadian charitable partner of the new Moores Clothing for Men & AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole collection," said Bronwen Evans, President of True Patriot Love. "It is extremely important to our organization to support veterans as they make the challenging move from military life to civilian life. This partnership is a natural fit with our vision of funding veterans' transition programming across the country."

This Remembrance Day, November 11, 2015, Moores Clothing for Men will increase the donation amount to ten percent of all gross sales of AWEARNESS Kenneth Cole products that business day.
