DALLAS, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 10/19/09 -- Kendall Law Group, led by a former federal judge, today announced that a lawsuit has been filed against Men's Wearhouse Inc. (NYSE: MW) for securities violations related to public statements made by the company between March 7, 2007 and January 9, 2008.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of Texas, charges Men's Wearhouse and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the federal securities laws concerning a series of false and misleading statements concerning the financial condition of the company. Defendants failed to disclose that the K&G division was performing poorly and not meeting internal expectations. Also, difficulties in integrating the After Hours acquisition was causing a severe disruption in the Company's business and reducing sales volumes below budgeted levels. The deteriorating demand for the Company's products was forcing discounts beyond customary discounts further eroding earnings.

When the update for the quarter ending February 2, 2008 was announced on January 9, 2009, the price of Men's Wearhouse common stock fell $7.60 per share, closing at $17.84 on January 10, 2009 on extremely heavy trading volume.
