               This  Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc.
(the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement
on Schedule 13D, dated January 1, 1997 (the "Initial  Statement"),  filed by the
Reporting Persons.  This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons
to report  that,  as of July 1, 2000,  Mr.  Druckenmiller  ceased to be the Lead
Portfolio  Manager of, and is no longer employed by, SFM LLC, and accordingly no
longer may be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the securities  reported  herein.
Capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings  ascribed
to them in the  Initial  Statement.  The  Initial  Statement  is  supplementally
amended as follows.

Item 2.        Identity and Background.

               This statement is being filed on behalf of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and
Mr.  Druckenmiller  (collectively,  the  "Reporting  Persons").  This  statement
relates to Shares held for the account of Quantum Partners.

          As of July 1, 2000, Mr.  Druckenmiller ceased to be the Lead Portfolio
Manager of, and is no longer employed by, SFM LLC. Mr.  Druckenmiller  no longer
may be deemed to have  investment  discretion  over the securities  held for the
account of Quantum  Partners.  As a result,  Mr.  Druckenmiller no longer may be
deemed  the  beneficial  owner of  securities  held for the  account  of Quantum
Partners, and, as of July 1, 2000, is no longer a Reporting Person.

               Effective as of July 1, 2000, as a result of a reorganization  of
SFM LLC, the  Management  Committee has been  eliminated and there are no longer
any Managing Directors.  The business of SFM LLC is managed by Mr. Soros, in his
capacity as Chairman and President.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a)  SFM LLC and Mr. Soros may each be deemed to beneficially own
616,401 Shares (approximately 9.02% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

               (b) SFM  LLC,  pursuant  to the  terms  of the  contract  between
Quantum  Partners and SFM LLC, and Mr.  Soros,  as a result of his position with
SFM LLC,  may each be  deemed  to have  sole  power to  direct  the  voting  and
disposition of the 616,401 Shares held for the account of Quantum Partners.

               (c)  There have been no transactions effected with respect to the
Shares since May 6, 2000 (60 days prior to the date hereof) by Quantum  Partners
or by any of the Reporting Persons.

               (d) The  shareholders  of  Quantum  Partners,  including  Quantum
Endowment  Fund N.V.,  have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends
from, or proceeds from the sale of, securities,  including the Shares,  held for
the account of Quantum Partners in accordance with their ownership  interests in
Quantum Partners.

               (e)  As of July  1,  2000,  Mr.  Druckenmiller  ceased  to be the
beneficial owner of more that five percent of the Shares.

               Gary  Gladstein,  who is employed as a senior  consultant  to SFM
LLC, is a director of the Issuer.
