FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Joseph Abboud
will be outfitting 26 coaches within the National Basketball
Coaches Association (NBCA) in Joseph Abboud Custom suits for the
2016-2017 season. This is the eighth season as the Official
Wardrobe Supplier to the NBCA.
Men's Wearhouse signed a two year agreement with the NBCA to
dress the coaches in Joseph Abboud Custom suits for the 2016-2017
and 2017-2018 seasons. "The NBCA is thrilled with the extension of
our partnership with Joseph Abboud,"
said Michael Goldberg, Executive
Director of the NBCA. "Our participating coaches appreciate the
fine tailoring, the beautiful fabrics and the caring of this great
company. Most of all, our coaches enjoy looking stylish on the
court."
Measured at the NBA Coaches Summit in Chicago this past September, the coaches will
receive their custom tailored suits prior to the start of the
upcoming season. The suits were made in America at the company's
factory in New Bedford, MA. The
coaches personally styled each of their suits from hundreds of
fabric swatches and a range of styles and silhouettes. In addition,
each coach will receive 20 Joseph Abboud ties to pair with their
custom suits.
"We started this partnership eight years ago and chose to work
with Joseph Abboud because it's an
American brand and we're an American sport," said Coach
Rick Carlisle, Head Coach of the
Dallas Mavericks and NBCA President. "We feel tremendous pride
representing a great American brand like Joseph Abboud."
