Founded in 1825, John Morgan & Co quickly established itself as one of the finest producers of gentlemen’s clothing in Europe, tailoring for British Prime Ministers and the aristocracy before being awarded a Royal Warrant from the King of Hanover and Queen Victoria. .

John Morgan owns the distinction of concurrently acting as tailor to US President John F. Kennedy and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan at the height of the Cold War. John Le Carré, who wrote unforgettable spy thrillers of that era, was also a customer.

During World War Two, Luftwaffe aircraft twice bombed the shop, but John Morgan & Co rebuilt and remains to this day one of the greatest names in bespoke British tailoring offering gentlemen of discernment handmade clothes of the finest quality.

Customers have included noted criminologist Sir Leon Radzinowicz, Field Marshal Lord William Slim, Lord Chief Justice Baron Widgery, US President John F. Kennedy, British Prime Minister, and Lord Stockton Harold Macmillan, and noted novelists John Le Carré and Agatha Christie.
