Benson & Clegg was founded in 1937 by Harry Benson and Thomas Clegg at its
original premises of 34 Bury Street London SW1. After thirty years cutting
experience they decided the time was right for them to branch out and bring
their own unique style of tailoring to customers.
Over the
years the company branched out into a large range of menswear accessories such
as neckwear, buttons, badges and cufflinks, all of which was inspired by our
tailoring heritage and dedication to classic British style.
Today the
business is owned by Barry Austin and Mark Gordon.
