This is a bit premature on my part, but I don't care any more. I'm done waiting on funding from sponsors to materialize. From this point forward, all US Military Personnel that have been or are soon to be honorably discharged, their first custom outfit will be 50% off. Hopefully, some day soon, this suits for boots program will be completely free to them, but for now 50% will have to do.
I know there are charities out there that give free suits to our vets to help prepare them for their search for civilian jobs, but these suits are most often used/worn hand-me-downs. I don't know about you, but racks of old, worn, ill-fitting, and out of style suits would not give me much confidence in a job interview.
Personally, I think they deserve better than hand-me-downs. I am going to flip that dynamic on it's head, and give a full custom tailored suit experience to our transitioning service personnel so they can go out and continue to kick ass.
If you know anyone that would be a good fit for this program, please have them get in touch with me so we can get the ball rolling for them.
