Ede and Ravenscroft

Ede and Ravenscroft

Ede and Ravenscroft are the oldest tailors in London, established in 1689. They have three London premises, on Gracechurch Street, Chancery Lane and Burlington Gardens, very close to the famous Savile Row. They make, sell and hire out legal gowns and wigs, clerical dress, civic and municipal robes, academic dress and other ceremonial and formal dress, and have shops in Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh. They hold the Royal warrant as "Purveyors to the British Royal Family" as robemakers to HM The Queen, HRH Prince Philip, HRH Prince Charles and previously the Queen Mother. As the Queen Mother's warrants expired five years after her death in 2002, Ede and Ravenscroft currently hold three Royal Warrants. They also provide bespoke and personal tailoring, in addition to ready-to-wear clothing for men, and some services for women.

In addition to clothing and robes, Ede and Ravencroft often supply a photographer at ceremonial events such as graduations.
