Burton Brand

 "Good clothes develop a man's self-respect," was one of Montague Burton insights when – over 100 years ago – he borrowed £100 to open the Cross-Tailoring Company in Chesterfield. Since then, Burton's Menswear London has remained at the forefront of high-quality fashion without the lofty price tag. On the even of the 1930s, Burton had 400 factories and mills before the company went public. Burton was knighted for his efforts in ‘furthering industrial relations and international peace" due to his manufacturing of nearly a quarter of the suits worn by the armed forces at the start of World War 1. Burton's passion ran far deeper than fashion with his work towards raising the bar for his employees and collaborating on advancing culture and education worldwide leading The House of Burton to play a significant role in creating the United Nations Association. At the time of his passing in 1952, the company was the largest multiple tailors in the world and continues to suit some of the wworld'smost notable men, including the 1966 England World Cup Winners to the England Squad for the Euro 2000 and World Cup 2002 Teams.
