Responsible menswear retailer Alder & Green partners with Suited & Booted to support vulnerable men in employment

Alder & Green, the responsible menswear retailer, has announced a partnership with Suited & Booted, a charity based in the City of London that supports vulnerable, unemployed and low-income men in getting into employment by providing suitable interview clothing donated by companies and professionals, as well as providing interview advice and mentoring.

The partnership began in October 2022, with the team at Alder & Green donating from their personal wardrobe, unused samples and high-quality​ formal garments. The retailer is now encouraging customers to donate their own high-quality​ formal garments that are no longer in use, in return for a 20 per cent discount off a new Alder & Green shirt in-store.

Alder & Green has assisted Suited & Booted through donations, raising the exposure of the charity, and assisting with sifting through donations to help with the rebranding and launch of their new permanent location on Grays Inn Road.

In the future, the partnership aims to offer styling and mentoring alongside providing high-quality donations from the Alder community.

Founder of Alder & Green, Cormac Folan, commented, “We are thrilled to partner with Suited & Booted and support their mission of helping vulnerable men into employment. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, and by providing high-quality interview clothing and support, we can help break down barriers and enable these men to reach their full potential.”

Maria Lenn, the founder of Suited & Booted, said, “We are delighted to partner with Alder & Green, whose commitment to sustainability and social responsibility aligns perfectly with our own values. With their support, we can continue to provide vital support to vulnerable men and help them achieve their employment goals.”

Since its inception, Suited & Booted has helped over 10,000 men for their job interviews, providing them with a suit, shirt, tie, and accessories. Now in its eleventh year, the charity aims to help at least 1,000 clients a year.

Launching in 2021, Alder & Green is re-establishing what a modern menswear brand should be, by developing responsible men’s shirts and accessories to encourage consumers to buy less and buy better.
