The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (MW): Men’s Clothing Makers Get a Dressing-Down

The protracted recession has affected just how many new suits are needed, so with the Fed now forecasting unemployment to fall as low as 6.5% by the end of next year — wishful thinking, if you ask me — it could improve the chances of The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. (NYSE:MW) and Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc (NASDAQ:JOSB) looking more nattily attired.

But from the boardroom to the shareholder floor, restiveness is apparent, and both companies indicate a willingness to dress down their top executives who appear unwilling to dress for success. Investors just might want to hang up these dull suits until they mend their ways.
