More about JoS. A Bank

JoS. A. Bank Clothiers is a men’s retailer known for its low priced men’s suits. Jos. A. Bank’s grandfather Charles Bank established a clothing business back in 1905. He came to Baltimore, Maryland in 1866, migrating from Lithuania and opened a small tailor shop in the city.

Joseph A. Bank joined his grandfather and the company in 1898 after the company had evolved into a trouser manufacturer. Joseph was 11 years old at the time and starting working as a cloth cutter. He later became a salesman and in 1922 he married Anna Hartz who was a saleswoman for a rival company. That same year Joseph joined forces with his mother-in-law and they formed Hartz and Bank and manufactured and sold suits as a wholesaler in the Baltimore area. The company prospered and grew and they purchased a building on Hopkins Place in Baltimore for their offices, showroom and cutting department.

In 1945 Joseph Bank and his son bought out the Hartz interest in the company and officially formed JoS. A. Bank and Co. After World War II they made a decision to specialize in men’s formal tailored clothing, as there was great shortage and need for this. They chose to get away from wholesaling and decided to sell directly to consumers when Joseph’s son Howard, starting hanging suits on a pipe rack in the factory and saw success. They struck a deal with Louie’s, Inc., a retailer in Washington, DC to begin selling their line of menswear. In 1955, Howard took over the company due to Josephs’ death.

In 1960 JoS. A. Bank introduced their mail catalogue due to the avid interest of out of town customers requesting cloth swatches and ordering suits. In the late 1960’s additional retail outlets were opened and they continued with their line of well manufactured conservative men’s suits. They also began manufacturing women’s professional clothing which included suits and skirts.

In 1981 the Bank family sold their company to Quaker Oats which included 11 stores and several manufacturing factories. Under this new ownership, JoS. A. Bank expanded quickly and 20 more locations were opened in the next five years. In 1986 annual sales peaked at $112 million. Quaker Oats decided to get out of the retailing business and sold JoS. A. Banks to a leveraged buyout group.

JoS. A. Bank experienced some financial difficulties over the next several years due to the buyout and soft sales in the retail environment. With the baby boom generation now moving into management positions and the increase of workers in the technology and computer era, styles were changing to a more casual look and a large number of companies began to relax their dress codes. Assistance from Timothy Finley, founder of a crisis management group and a Henry “Chick” Schwartz as the new president and merchandiser of JoS A. Bank helped turn the company back around. JoS. A. Banks went public in 1994. They expanded to sportswear in the mid 1990’s and in 1997 resumed their expansion and opened 10 stores in a 12 month period. And in 1998 JoS. A Bank launched their online store.

Today JoS. A. Bank sells their products in over 800 stores across the United States. They still are known for their great prices, especially in tailored suits but also offer a great line of casual wear. They have specials and sales both in stores and online and offer BOGO specials often. For additional savings they make it easy to use coupon codes on their website.
