Sharp Dressed Man empowers men to improve their lives - equipping men in the Baltimore and LA areas who are preparing for work through job training programs with recycled suits for job interviews. Our professional presentation program gives men confidence and a professional look as they prepare for job interviews. We bridge a critical gap between job development programs that provide training and the remaining skills and look needed to be considered for and obtain employment. Sharp Dressed Man is the only program of its kind in the area, and our services are desperately needed in Baltimore and beyond.
​
Often a nice suit and appropriate business attire is the last hurdle for men getting back on their feet. Sharp Dressed Man equips men who are ready for work with a measure-to-fit, one on one styling experience resulting in a hand selected suit and accessories to wear to interviews and other occasions. 
​
Studies show we have seven seconds to make a first impression. Aligning a man's outer look with his inner character helps to remove biases and enables him to move ahead in his job search. Our suit program helps improve first impressions in the Baltimore region, helping men get back on their feet to live a better life.

It is a non-profit solely run by volunteers and donations, we thank you in advance for helping us continue to give back!

"YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST, YOU GAVE ME HOPE THAT I WILL FIND
A GOOD JOB. WHEN I WALKED THROUGH YOUR DOORS TODAY I
HAD A FROWN ON MY FACE, BUT ONCE I WAS PUT INTO MY SUIT I COULDN'T STOP SMILING. NOT TO MENTION THE SUIT THAT WAS
PICKED OUT FOR ME WAS MEANT FOR ME. I FELT LIKE A NEW MAN
​AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY I WANTED TO CRY."
