Ben Sherman and Gladson announced their partnership to support the Costume Designers Guild, Motion Picture Costumers, and the IATSE in their mission providing aid and relief to American healthcare workers in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Faced with this unprecedented crisis Ben Sherman and Gladson are honored to support the Costume Designers Guild, Motion Picture Costumers, and the IATSE in the production and delivery of up to 50,000 protective masks to aid healthcare workers on the frontline. Closely monitoring the situation, they will send these masks to hospitals in the U.S. experiencing the most severe lack of personal protective gear.

This is an organic collaboration for the two brands that stems from their industry knowledge, resources, and craft in producing high-quality custom and ready-to-wear garments in the menswear industry. Bringing their expertise along with a network for moving the goods within the U.S., they are forming a well-oiled machine with the Costume Designers Guild, Motion Picture Costumers, and the IATSE in Los Angeles to source high-quality cotton fabrics to produce masks and transport all while prioritizing the health and safety of employees and their families.

Together, the brands are committed to doing their part for the community during these difficult times and will be continuing to provide updates on the roll-out of future initiatives.
