Steeped in history, the Burton's menswear collection is an impressively eclectic lineup of smart, tailored attire and casual garments.
About Burton
Eighteen-year-old Montague Burton founded his eponymous company in 1903 in the English borough of Chesterfield. His goal was to create a collection of high quality suits at affordable prices for the everyday man. During World War I, the company began to produce uniforms, and dressed almost a quarter of the country's entire armed forces. The company thrived, and by 1929 it ran some 400 factories and shops.
As Burton went public and the company grew to even greater heights, it did not lose sight of one of its original purposes: to produce quality uniforms for the soldiers. Again, then, the company committed to this cause during World War II. Burton himself even designed a special suit for war veterans, affectionately dubbed "The Full Monty," a cheeky reference to the complete three-piece suit and Burton's first name.
Even after Burton's death in 1952, the company enjoyed great success. In fact, at the time, it was said to be the biggest tailoring company in the world. Through the years, it continued to outfit various luminaries, such as World Cup and Euro 2000 champions. The line expanded beyond suiting to include casual wear, nightwear, clothing for big and tall sizes, shoes, accessories and much more. Today, the Burton legacy lives on. The company operates over 400 stores in both the UK and Ireland, and also boasts a full service web site.
