Lose your job? Have a suit

[Anima]

Men's clothing retailer Jos. A. Bank said this morning that it will refund the price of a suit if a customer loses his job, a program similar to one Hyundai announced earlier this year.

And to top that off, they'll let the man keep the suit.

"We understand the uncertainty everyone is facing," Jos. A. Bank CEO R. Neal Blake said in a statement this morning. "We want to help the customer look good at work, and if he loses his job, to be dressed appropriately as he meets with his next employer. It's like giving all of our customers a bit of unemployment insurance."

The suits have to be purchased during the retailer's $199 sale, from March 16 to April 9. Customers have to show proof that they lost their job between April 16 and July 1 to get the rebate. Jos. A. Bank will pay a refund up to $199.
