I have been in public education for 23 years a teacher and principal. In 2014 I started a custom suit business after identifying that many men, and young men, in our community, did not own or know how to wear a suit. It quickly became a labor of love, and my passion to ensure that every young man knows, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Every year we love to giveback by finding deserving high school seniors who are in need of a suit or tuxedo for prom. This year we want to multiply our efforts, but we need your help. Our goal is to make at least 100 free suits, hopefully more. In addition to the suit, these students will receive...

  • accessories with their suit/tuxedo.
  • training on how to properly wear a suit.
  • training on the ins and outs of a suit.
  • training on how to tie a tie/bowtie.
  • training on how to preserve and take care of their suit.

We will be working with local high schools and mentors to identify deserving students. We will also be sharing content of the process leading up to their proms. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions you can email us at info@themsjx.com
