HenryPoole: Top 200 Years of Customization

Henry Poole

Britain had a tradition of "gentlemen do not pay for tailoring accounts." Tailors believe that the gentlemen who come to make clothes are very respectful of their reputation. Therefore, they do not have to pay for the manufacturing costs. Gentlemen will pay the money sooner or later. However, there are exceptions. It is said that when the great writer Charles Dickens died, he still owed the assembly fee for the Henry Poole shop at 15 Savile Row. However, this did not affect Dickens's image, but instead became Henry-Pool's shop. The beauty talks.

For men in Europe and the United States, wearing a tailored garment from the Henry-Pool boutique is a luxury symbol. Henry Poole was founded in 1806 and has a history of 200 years. It is famous around the world for custom-made expensive suits such as royal aristocrats, political tycoons, and celebrities. Open its list of customers, you can see a long list of shining stars: Prince of Wales, King of Egypt, Napoleon, Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and other countries politicians were once its customers. Beckham's white suit, which screams countless female fans, is also from here.

Since Henry became the emperor of the French emperor in 1856, Puerdian Store has already been authorized by dozens of countries. In the showroom on the first floor of Henry-Pull, there are certificates awarded by various European countries. Fifty years ago, the “Wall Street Journal” of the United States sent generous words to the Poole Store: “31 Golden Royal Awards issued by the Royal Family, antique brown wood flooring, all the same as Dickens’s style, the company is still diffuse. The elegant atmosphere - eternal and brilliant."

The development of Henry Poole was not smooth, and since the second generation of heads began to attract members of the royal family, accompanied by a financial crisis, the tailors generally did not discuss with the gentlemen, and the ministers seemed to get used to it. Procrastinated or forgotten, financial revenues and expenditures were once difficult. Fortunately, the third generation chief — Henry’s cousin Samuel Gandhi was a wealthy master and passed on to the third generation, the famous Henry-Pull Store. The financial situation has always improved. Incidentally, since then, the head of the Henry-Pull store has been taken over by the Gandhi family.
