Since 1836 Holland & Sherry has continued to supply
prestigious tailors and luxury brands with some of the finest cloths in the
world. Stephen George Holland and Frederick Sherry began the business as woolen
merchants at 10 Old Bond Street, London, specializing in both woolen and silk
cloths. In 1886 Holland & Sherry moved premises to Golden Square, at the
time the epicenter of the woolen merchanting trade.
By 1900 the firm was
exporting to many countries, it was around that time a sales office was
established in New York. In the early part of the 20th century, the United
Kingdom, Europe, North and South America were the dominant markets for the
company. Amongst other distribution arrangements, there was a Holland &
Sherry warehouse in St. Petersburg, Russia – a successful market prior to the
revolution and now being successfully renewed.
By 1982 the business
moved to Savile Row, which remains as our registered head office.
In 1968 Holland &
Sherry bought Scottish cloth merchant, Lowe Donald, based at Peebles, in the
Scottish Borders and decided to locate their distribution to the purpose built
warehouse there. Of all the cloth merchants of Golden Square, which were
established in the late 1800's, only Holland & Sherry remains. Over the
decades we have purchased nearly twenty other wool companies.
We are constantly
engaged in research for ever fine and more luxurious fibres and fabric
qualities; sourcing the finest natural fibres, ranging from Super 240's,
cashmere to pure worsted Vicuña. Our cloths are woven in the time honoured way
to assured quality and good taste. A bespoke tailored garment in luxury Holland
& Sherry cloth is truly an investment and always a pleasure to wear.
