Austin Reed

Was founded by tailor Austin Leonard Reed in 1900, and became the first menswear retailer to make ready-to-wear clothes with the same level of skill as made-to-measure.

Austin Reed’s first store was on Fenchurch Street in London with a larger flagship shop opening on Regent Street in London in 1911. It grew to become one of the leading tailors of men’s and women’s formal and casual wear until its sad demise in 2016.
