The White Rose Trophy

Like any football team will tell you, its all about the silverware and with that in mind we have managed to bring “home” two of the biggest awards in Tailoring history. We have currently the White Rose Trophy an award given to the best provincial tailor mounted on our shop wall. Its next stop after us is Kilgour on the Savile Row.

Also a slightly bigger piece of silverware in the shop window is the Dugdales White Rose Trophy. This is the precursor to the Golden Shears and was awarded to to “for excellence in the art of tailoring” Having been won by both “Mr Gieves”  (1950) and “Mr Hawkes” (1958) before their combined entity began as Gieves & Hawkes they are next inline to display the cup in the premises at No1 Savile Row.
