Classic Clothing Styles That Are Always In Fashion
Category: EcommerceIf you ever considered how the dark business suit, the trench coat, school
tie, sporting tie, gabardine, and tweed evolved. Plus the commercialisation of
madder print, then you may be quite surprised to find that they all originated
in England and
have become the hallmark of classicism.
Here are just a few historic examples of the evolution of style and the
progress of fashion.
Thomas Burberry opened his own business in 1856 in Basingstoake, Hampshire.
His commitment to both form and function in apparel design has been significant
throughout the development of the company and its products. Noticing how local
shepherds and farmers wore linen smocks, which were cool in summer and warm in
the winter, he attempted to apply the same principles to other clothing. In
1879 he developed a fabric which was weatherproofed in the yarn before weaving,
using a secret process and then proofed again in the piece, using the same
undisclosed formula. The new material was untearable and weatherproof, whilst
cool and breathable. He called the cloth ?gabardine’ and registered the word as
a trademark.
The English Madder , and for
graduates. Thanks to historians and their method of accurate documentation all
the original college colours are still available from archived samples and
replicate ties can be made to order.
But let’s not forget the perfect companion for your tie? Cufflinks of
course.
