Ede & Ravenscroft is London’s oldest tailor formally established in 1689 in Aldwych from where it had been operating for many years before. It was from here, amongst the many tailors, cloth merchants, robemakers, furriers, embroiderers and haberdashers that the company began its illustrious path of dressing the modern British gent. It began with the respected tailoring family the Shudalls whose work won them the honour of creating the robes for the coronation of their Majesties King William III and Queen Mary II. They soon became a recognised supplier for the royal family, going on to produce a large number or ceremonial robes for the coronation of His Majesty King George III. Whilst providing specialist garments to the church, state and legal professions, Ede & Ravenscroft continued bespoke tailoring for individuals.Being present through three centuries of changes in fashion and tailoring, the company has not only witnessed transitions, but also been at the very heart of innovation and at the cutting edge of quality, style and sartorial elegance.
