Men’s Wearhouse to open first-ever Joseph Abboud freestanding store

Fremont, Calif. - Men's Wearhouse will open the first-ever Joseph Abboud retail store in midtown Manhattan in spring 2015. The store follows the launch of JosephAbboud.com in early November.



"Customers appreciate the quality, style and value of Joseph Abboud menswear," said Doug Ewert, Men's Wearhouse CEO. "When we launched JosephAbboud.com with an exclusive collection only available online, we knew it would only be a matter of time before we introduced that merchandise in store. Bringing together the design talent of Joseph Abboud and the quality craftsmanship from our tailored clothing facility in New Bedford, Mass., the Joseph Abboud retail store will showcase the full collection of the product in an engaging and accessible environment. It is the next evolution of the brand, furthering our commitment to wardrobe men in the finest quality designer menswear in America."



Men's Wearhouse and Joseph Abboud hired architect Jeffrey Hutchison & Associates, to create the Joseph Abboud flagship The design aesthetic will provide a modern American take on London's Savile Row, with Joseph Abboud's sophisticated stylings represented through exquisite fabrics and the highest craftsmanship.



"I am very excited about the launch of Joseph Abboud retail," said Joseph Abboud, chief creative director of Men's Wearhouse. "The store will be a great laboratory for new retail concepts, enhancing the visibility of the brand that I launched in 1987 and bringing compelling design and product to the consumer, especially with our custom tailored clothing, made right here in America."
