Chicago-based Sebastien Grey, the bespoke clothier known for custom handmade garments, is set to change the face of small apparel companies with their latest venture. Starting in January 2012, the label’s new PerSuit program will offer one-for-one garment giving to The Cara Program (www.thecaraprogram.org), a local mission based job training and placement program. Sebastien Grey will be giving a brand new suit to The Cara Program with the sale of every one of their custom suits.
“Now more than ever it is important to encourage the growth of future generations,” says Sebastien Grey co-owner Josh Kercher. “The Cara Program has become a staple for helping adult students in Chicago and are known for being there no matter how difficult the circumstances. As a local company, we truly wanted to give back to the community and working with the Cara team is our way to take part in building a better tomorrow. With the PerSuit program, we are providing those most in need with a chance at success and the opportunity to make the best impression possible.”
On January 24th, Sebastien Grey Clothiers donated 50 brand new suits to The Cara Program as the official kick off to their PerSuit initiative. Moving forward, The Cara Program team will request both the suiting sizes and colors needed most to fit their demand and students’ needs. The brand will then present the suits along with additional new garments including shirts, sport coats, trousers, shoes, and socks quarterly based on sales for that term.
