OUR HISTORY
DUGDALE
In 1896, Henry Percy and Frederick Herbert Dugdale established their cloth merchants business in Huddersfield, the centre of Britain's fine worsted industry.
Using skilled designers, weavers and finishers their ranges soon found favour with the finest tailors and their reputation quickly spread throughout Europe and the Americas. Today, Dugdale Brothers and Company Limited, remain exclusive designers, fabric merchants and suppliers to Savile Row and the finest tailors, couturiers and retailers throughout the world.
THOMAS FISHER
Fisher & co was founded in 1859 as a major design house, exporting the finest worsted suitings throughout Europe and America. The company was noted for pioneering the introduction of fine British fabrics into South America, particularly in Buenos Aries, Argentina, where English elegance was the standard to which the colonial classes aspired to in the latter part of the 19th century, and still do today.
It was decided to launch the premium collection "Thomas Fisher" at the London Cut/Savile Row exhibition at Pitti Uomo, Florence, in January 2007. Fabrics from the "Thomas Fisher" collection feature in several Savile Row garments made expressly for the London Cut Exhibition which will showcase in Florence, Paris, Tokyo, New York and London.
Dugdale Brothers and Fisher & co have preserved their fabric archive created over several generations. Both companies increasingly realise that bespoke tailors and designers worldwide share the vision that a past as rich in style as it is in heritage is an invaluable inspiration for the future.
DUFFIN & PEACE
Duffin & Peace was founded in 1906 to supply the domestic tailors and clothing trade. Throughout the 20th Century Duffin & Peace developed it's business by offering "classic English cloths at very reasonable rates". This still holds true today as Duffin & Peace offers several well presented, un-complicated ranges which remain extremely competitive.
