A Glasgow tailoring company has teamed up with a charity to help men dress for their job interviews.

Suited & Booted, a bespoke tailors and gents fashion brand that launched in Glasgow earlier this summer, has partnered with Men Matter Scotland to help men prepare for employment.

The company is asking customers, stakeholders, and friends of the brand to donate unworn and unwanted suits to be gifted to the charity for distribution.

In return for a donated suit, each person will be given a £100 voucher to spend on bespoke or ready-to-wear suits at the store.

Men Matter Scotland, which was founded in 2019, supports men's mental health and well-being and aims to prevent suicide.

The charity provides weekly group sessions, peer-to-peer sessions, and an expert referral service for men in distress from its centre in Drumchapel.

Since the charity's services are in high demand, with more than 3,500 men in Glasgow actively using the service, the partnership with Suited & Booted will be a welcome addition.

Suited & Booted was founded by Scottish entrepreneurs Ryan Smith and Calvin Smith in Dubai in 2017.

The duo opened their first UK store in Glasgow at the beginning of the summer.

Dillion Aurthur, managing director of Suited & Booted Glasgow, said: "Since launch, we have been lucky to very quickly build up a network of clients and create our own community here in the city and we want to ensure that we use this network to give back and support organisations that are aligned with our own ethos.

"Creating opportunities and supporting our clients and stakeholders is at the heart of what we do and as we have a predominantly male client base it made sense that our first official charity partner was a charity that supports men and men's mental health has never been more prevalent.

"We instantly clicked with the team at the charity and identified that by helping men look good and feel more confident for interviews and jobs is a really simple and effective way we can make a difference.

"We have lots of ideas and plans for phase two of the partnership and would love to explore how we can use our own entrepreneurial experience and our network to provide practical mentoring sessions.

"We would encourage anyone with old suits that they no longer need or use to bring them into us at our new store in Montrose Street in the Merchant City ASAP."

Tom Elvin, board chair at Men Matter Scotland, said: "We are delighted to be working alongside the team at Suited & Booted on this new initiative.

"The feedback we have had since we launched on social media has been incredible and simply reinforces the importance of the work we are doing in Glasgow.

"Men use our centre and services for many different reasons but ultimately it’s always about ensuring our patrons’ mental health is a priority as well as helping men build their confidence.

"For those job seeking or re-entering into the workforce after time away, it’s important that they feel good about themselves and by simply helping them dress the part for interviews, we know a simple thing like having a new suit can make such a difference and really boost their self-esteem."

Donations can be made to Suited & Booted, 18 Montrose Street, Glasgow, G1 1RE.
