This Post-Effective Amendment relates to Registration Statement No. 333-85426 (the “ Registration Statement ”) of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc.

On June 18, 2014, after completion of a tender offer (the “ Offer ”) by Java Corp. (“ Java ”), a Delaware corporation wholly owned by The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc., a Texas corporation (“ MW ”), for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Java merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “ Merger ”).  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 11, 2014, governing the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock not tendered in the Offer (other than (i) shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company or owned by the Company, MW or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, which shares were cancelled in the Merger, and (ii) shares owned by the Company’s stockholders who properly perfected their appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law) was converted into the right to receive $65.00 in cash, without interest, less any required withholding taxes.  The Merger became effective on June 18, 2014 (the “ Effective Time ”) following the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the Effective Time.
