He had crafted the uniform worn by Admiral Lord Nelson when he was killed in action at the Battle of Trafalgar. In 1841, the business was sold to Joseph Galt, and James Gieve joined as a partner 11 years later. Eventually, James Gieve took control in 1887, and established Gieves & Co. He died just a year afterwards and his two sons, James W. Gieve & John Gieve, took over the business. By 1900, Gieves became tailor by appointment to the Royal Navy. In the following decade, Gieves received a number of Royal Warrants and established their premises in two different locations on Bond Street, London. Gieves, Ltd. acquired Hawkes in 1974, and since their Bond Street location had been attacked by IRA terrorists, the business was moved to No. 1 Savile Row. Subsequently, the company was renamed Gieves & Hawkes. Please feel free to email or call us to arrange a viewing in our North London warehouse.
