Ede & Ravenscroft History

Ede & Ravenscroft, established in 1689 in Aldwych, London, is the city’s oldest tailor. It has a long history of dressing British gentlemen, operating among a community of tailors, cloth merchants, robemakers, furriers, embroiderers, and haberdashers.

The company’s origins trace back to the renowned Shudall family, whose exceptional tailoring skills earned them the prestigious task of creating robes for the coronation of King William III and Queen Mary II. This achievement led to them becoming official suppliers to the royal family, and they subsequently produced numerous ceremonial robes for the coronation of King George III.

While specializing in garments for the church, state, and legal professions, Ede & Ravenscroft also continued to offer bespoke tailoring services to individuals. With a presence spanning three centuries, the company has not only observed fashion and tailoring transformations but has also been at the forefront of innovation, maintaining the highest standards of quality, style, and sartorial elegance.

By employing skilled tailors and embracing exceptional craftsmanship, Ede & Ravenscroft meticulously designs unique and elegant garments that exceed the highest expectations. The company takes pride in supporting traditional British craftsmanship whenever possible.

Ede & Ravenscroft provides a range of services, including the renowned bespoke service known for its excellence and personalization. They also offer personal tailoring and shirt making. Their ready-to-wear menswear collection combines contemporary trends with the core values of traditional craftsmanship and tailoring.

The collection encompasses tailoring, formal attire, casualwear, and accessories. With their extensive knowledge and unparalleled expertise in tailoring, customers can be confident that quality, craftsmanship, and style are never compromised.
