Dear All

Can anyone assist in drawing up a list of tailors favoured by the various members of our Royal Family?

I seem to recall fairly recently Prince Charles received some press attention for moving from A&S to Turnbull and Asser MTM

Many thanks

Indeed; it was a mistake. You will observe that his collars now float around all over the place - unless he's wearing one of his older suits.

Davies & Son has the warrant from the Duke of Edinburgh for military uniforms. It was held by Johns & Pegg which was acquired by Davies.

Turnbull & Asser has the warrant from the Prince of Wales for shirts.

For years John Kent cut for Prince Philip, under various firms including his own and the old Hawes and Curtis. I presume he still does, but maybe someone can confirm this. Perhaps the warrant will indicate.
