Earlier, in the year I needed new work trousers, and went and purchased what I thought would be great choices, had them taken up, to discover that they irritate my skin.

 

One of the 3 pairs is only worn a half dozen times, the rest are brand new. 

 

Is anyone aware of any organizations that help people (in this case, men) get back to work, by helping them with clothing etc? 

 

Otherwise I can just drop them off at any donation center, but I thought it might be nice to find somewhere targeted so they help people the most. 

 

Cheers

Dress for Success provide this exact service for women. I don't think they take men's clothes but if you contact them they might be able to point you in the direction of a similar organisation who do.

There are a few for women, but I'm not aware of any for men, sorry.

 

If you do find one, I'd love to know!

Do any of these orgs take clothes with logos?
I have a few heavy winter weight work jackets that have probably only been worn once or twice.
The logos themselves are reasonably small, 6cm by 1cm

Logo stitching is pretty hard to unpick without leaving a mess of holes or tiny threads ...
