About Us

The Brook Taverner story started in 1912 with Frank Brook and Walter Taverner on a boat to Calcutta. Their first business venture was selling buttons to tailors, but soon linings and then cloth were added to the range. It was cloth which propelled the business forward, and despite tricky times in between the two wars, one of the largest stock supported fabric ranges in the country was built up concentrating entirely on the menswear.

In 1967, with many traditional tailors’ shops disappearing, it was decided that a cut, make and trim service should be offered. Five years later, this led to a comprehensive ready-to-wear range being introduced. Today, Brook Taverner, based in Yorkshire, is one of the UK’s most respected names in men’s classic tailoring, and the largest and most successful stock supplier of corporatewear.

The company prides itself on its exceptional craftsmanship and detailing, cutting no corners to deliver the perfect finish to every garment, we pride ourselves on three principles: quality, service and price..

Brook Taverner Today

In 2006 we took the decision to launch a web and mail order business backed up by the success of our wholesale business, this has meant that with our website (www.brooktaverner.co.uk) and consistent brochure mailings we have been able to move the brand on to a new level. Our corporate operations have also gone from strength to strength, dealing with selected distributors across the world has meant we are now Europe's largest corporate tailoring supplier (www.brooktaverner.com).

Our fabric business still flourishes and supplies traditional tailors throughout the world, from local tailors in Leeds and Huddersfield, to Saville row, and to retailers in South Africa and America. All wanting the same British quality, service and price that is at the heart of everything we do.
