Brook Taverner (from buttons to double breasted) - A History of suiting supply

Brook Taverner has long been established as a market leader within the corporate clothing and suiting sector, but where did it all begin.

The story begins on a boat to Calcutta in 1912. On board Frank Brook and Walter Taverner decided on their first business venture, selling buttons to tailors. As the business developed, cloth and linings were added to the range. It was the addition of cloth that moved the business forward to the next level.

Though not easy Brook Taverner came through both world wars and by 1967 with many tailoring shops falling by the wayside it was decided that the future of Brook Taverner laid in a cut, make and trim service. Five years later with a suiting ready to wear range introduced and the Brook Taverner that we know today was born. From this time Brook Taverner has based itself in Yorkshire and become the market leader within the corporate clothing and suiting sector.

JKL Clothing has recently added the entire Brook Taverner range to its online corporate clothing department. It is hoped that by working in close partnership a well established brand such as Brook Taverner, JKL Clothing will be able to offer its customers the choice of high quality suiting garments.
