me to some of our nations most established and successful brands, with more continuing to pop up each day. To celebrate the impact London has had on the global menswear scene, we’re counting down some of our favourite labels, old and new, which are testament to the creative environment and land of opportunity that is the ‘Big Smoke’.

1. Hackett London

With its origins in West London’s Portobello Road, this British tailoring label has the influence of the capital running through its veins.

Expanding from a single market stall back in 1979 to over 75 retail locations worldwide today, Hackett London has firmly cemented itself as a British institution in the world of gentlemanly fashion. Available in Hackett stores and online at hackett.com.

2. Percival

Young in age yet mature in style, London-born brand Percival was launched in 2010 and quickly landed on our fashion radar.

With a studio located in central London and a flagship store in Soho, this stylish brand caters for gents of all ages and walks of life, with the majority of its garments made right here in the UK.

Available in Percival stores and online at percivalclo.com.

3. AllSaints

This now internationally-known brand makes no secret of its London heritage, even including its Spitalfields roots in its former name.

However, the label is actually named after west London’s All Saints Road, an area heavily linked with the music and design scene in the 1960s. It even opened its first store on Carnaby Street on All Saints Day in 1997. How’s that for symmetry?
