Gieves & Hawkes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gieves & Hawkes is a gentleman's tailor located at No.1 Savile Row in London. Almost certainly one of the most famous traditional bespoke tailors in the United Kingdom, the business dates from the late 18th century, and was formed by the merger of two separate businesses, Gieves and Hawkes. It holds a number of Royal Warrants.

It now provides ready-to-wear clothes, as well as bespoke and military tailoring. There are various Gieves & Hawkes shops and concessions around the UK and in several other countries.
