    (a) Includes retail stores and ecommerce.
    (b) MW Tux stores resulting from the acquisition of After Hours on
        April 9, 2007. They will be excluded from comparable store sales
        reporting until Q2 of fiscal 2008.
    (c) Comparable store sales change is based on the Canadian dollar.
    (d) The company follows the retail 4-5-4 reporting calendar which includes
        an extra week in fiscal 2006. Thus, fourth quarter includes 14 weeks
        and full year includes 53 weeks.

This year’s 13 week fourth quarter operating income was $21.5 million
compared to $73.2 million for last year’s 14 week quarter and net income was
$14.8 million compared to $52.3 million last year. Diluted earnings per share
were $0.28 for the fourth quarter ended February 2, 2008 compared to $0.95
last year. MW Tux (formerly After Hours), after acquisition funding costs,
decreased the diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter by $0.37.

Fiscal year 2007’s 52 week operating income was $228.7 million compared to
$223.9 million for last year’s 53 week period and net income was $147.0
million compared to $148.6 million last year. Diluted earnings per share were
$2.73 for the full year compared to $2.71 last year. MW Tux (formerly After
Hours), after acquisition funding costs, increased the diluted earnings per
share for fiscal year 2007 by $0.02.

It should be noted that the seasonality of MW Tux (formerly After Hours)
revenues is heavily concentrated in April, May and June. Second quarter,
followed by third quarter, is the highest revenue quarter and first and fourth
quarters are considered off season. As a result, MW Tux (formerly After
Hours) typically has income in the second and third quarters and losses in the
first and fourth quarters.

    FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

    -- Total company sales decreased 3.9% for the 13 week 2007 quarter as
       compared to the 14 week 2006 quarter.  Apparel sales, representing
       87.2% of total sales, decreased 7.8%.  Tuxedo rental revenues,
       representing 6.5% of total sales, increased 130.3%.   Tuxedo rental
       revenues excluding MW Tux (formerly After Hours) increased 3.9%.

         - Comparable store sales decreased 8.6% for the Company's United
           States based stores, below the Company's guidance of negative low
           single digit range.  This under plan performance was primarily
           related to weaker traffic trends at both TMW and K&G.

         - Comparable store sales decreased 7.3% for the Company's Canadian
           based stores, below the Company's guidance of flat to +2%.  This
           decline in comparable store sales is also a result of weaker
           traffic trends.

    -- Gross margin, as a percentage of sales, decreased 183 basis points from
       44.60% to 42.77% primarily due to the inclusion of the MW Tux (formerly
       After Hours) operations which deleveraged occupancy costs due to the
       seasonality of the tuxedo business.

    -- Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
       increased 728 basis points from 31.46% to 38.74%.  This increase is due
       to the inclusion of the MW Tux (formerly After Hours) operations,
       amplified during the tuxedo off season, as well as the decrease in
       apparel sales.

    -- The effective tax rate for the quarter was 30.6%.

    -- During the quarter, the Company repurchased 1,218,900 shares for a
       total of $27.7 million.

2008 GUIDANCE AND HIGHLIGHTS

In the summer of 2008, the Company expects to close its Canadian based
manufacturing facility, operated by its subsidiary, Golden Brand. The company
estimates the pre tax cost to close the facility to be approximately
$8.5 million or the equivalent of $0.10 per diluted share outstanding for the
fiscal year. The estimated pre tax cost for first quarter is $5.5 million or
the equivalent of $0.06 per diluted share outstanding, for second quarter is
$1.3 million or the equivalent of $0.02 per diluted share outstanding and for
third quarter is $1.7 million or the equivalent of $0.02 per diluted share
outstanding.

For the fiscal year, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per
share to be $1.90 to $2.10 excluding the Golden Brand closure costs.
Including these costs, diluted earnings per share are expected to be $1.80 to
$2.00. This guidance assumes same store sales in the U.S. to decrease in the
mid single digit range and in Canada to be flat.

For the first quarter, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per
share to be $0.20 to $0.24 excluding the Golden Brand closure costs.
Including these costs, diluted earnings per share are expected to be $0.14 to
$0.18. This guidance assumes same store sales in the U.S. to decrease in the
high single digit range and in Canada to decrease in the low single digit
range. MW Tux (formerly After Hours) was acquired at the beginning of April
2007. Thus February and March, which are considered off season, were not
included in first quarter fiscal 2007 results. The February and March diluted
earnings per share impact on first quarter is estimated to be dilutive by
$0.22.

For the second quarter, the Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per
share to be $0.80 to $0.86 excluding the Golden Brand closure costs.
Including these costs, diluted earnings per share are expected to be $0.78 to
$0.84. This guidance assumes same store sales in the U.S., including MW Tux
(formerly After Hours) stores, to decrease in the mid to high single digit
range and in Canada to increase in the low single digit range.

The guidance includes an estimated effective tax rate of approximately
38.3% for the first and second quarters and approximately 37.9% for the full
year. The fully diluted shares outstanding are estimated to be 52.1 million.
