Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP (“Coughlin Stoia”) (http://www.csgrr.com/cases/menswearhouse/) today announced that a class action has been commenced on behalf of an institutional investor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Men’s Wearhouse Inc. (“Men’s Wearhouse” or the “Company”) (NYSE:MW) between March 7, 2007 and January 9, 2008, inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Coughlin Stoia at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@csgrr.com. If you are a member of this Class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.csgrr.com/cases/menswearhouse/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

The complaint charges Men’s Wearhouse and certain of its executives with violations of the Exchange Act. Men’s Wearhouse describes itself as “one of North America’s largest specialty retailers of men’s apparel with 1,284 stores.” The Company’s U.S. retail apparel stores are operated under the brand names of Men’s Wearhouse and K&G.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made numerous positive statements regarding the Company’s financial condition, business and prospects. The complaint further alleges that these statements were materially false and misleading because defendants failed to disclose the following adverse facts, among others: (a) that the K&G division was performing poorly and not meeting internal expectations; (b) that the Company was experiencing significant difficulties integrating the After Hours acquisition which was causing a severe disruption in that division’s business and reducing sales volumes below budgeted levels; (c) that, given the deteriorating demand for the Company’s products, the Company was forced to significantly discount products beyond customary discounts which would further erode earnings; and (d) that as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements concerning the Company’s guidance and prospects were lacking in a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On January 9, 2008, Men’s Wearhouse announced its mid fourth quarter update for the quarter ending February 2, 2008. In response to the Company’s reduced guidance for fiscal 2007, the price of Men’s Wearhouse common stock fell $7.60 per share, or 30%, to close at $17.84 per share, on January 10, 2008, on extremely heavy trading volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Men’s Wearhouse common stock during the Class Period (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Coughlin Stoia, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
