For over 100 years, Hammond & Co. has been dedicated to providing high-quality, stylish menswear at an affordable price. Our mission is simple: to help men look and feel their best.
Our History
The Hammond & Co. story begins in 1913, when Arthur Hammond opened a small menswear shop in London. As a tailor himself, Arthur had a passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail. He wanted to make well-made, classic clothing accessible to working men.
The business grew steadily and by the 1930s, Hammond & Co. suits were worn by celebrities and Royalty. We even made suits for the Duke of Windsor. During World War II, we switched to manufacturing uniforms but returned to tailoring afterwards.
Arthur’s sons Peter and James took over in the 1950s and opened more Hammond & Co. stores across the UK. The 60s and 70s saw us lead menswear fashion, pioneering the slim fit suit.
In the 1980s, Hammond & Co. was acquired by the Burton Group, which later became Arcadia. We continued to design and make clothing in our London factories but also expanded our range to casualwear.
Today, we offer everything from suits to casual shirts, trousers, jeans, footwear and accessories. While no longer made in Britain, our focus remains on quality, fit, style and value.
Our Vision
The menswear market has changed significantly since we began over a century ago. But as one of Britain’s most enduring fashion brands, Hammond & Co. is here to stay.
Our vision is simple: to inspire men to look their best effortlessly. We believe that whatever the occasion, Hammond & Co. has you covered. Our designers obsess over the details – fabric, fit and finish – so you don’t have to.
Looking polished shouldn’t cost a fortune or require endless shopping. With Hammond & Co., quality style is accessible. Our extensive range offers coordinated outfits for work, weekends and everything in-between.
While trends come and go, quality endures. Our clothing is designed to last, not just a single season. Timeless style never goes out of fashion.
Our Values
Hammond & Co. has endured for over 100 years by staying true to our core values:
Quality Materials & Craftsmanship
Every item we produce is carefully constructed from long-lasting fabrics. Our shirts are cut from natural, breathable cottons and crafted for durability. Our suits and jackets feature wool-rich cloths made at renowned Italian mills.
While manufacturing has moved overseas, we still closely oversee production to ensure items are made to our exacting standards. We believe that quality materials and workmanship are the foundations of lasting style.
Attention to Detail
The fabric is just the start. Next comes the all-important cut and fit. Our designers meticulously craft each pattern to flatter the male form. Jacket shoulders slope naturally, lapels arc just so. Trousers are shaped to contour, not constrict.
We obsess over every detail, from custom-moulded shirt collars to signature embossed buttons. It’s this commitment to perfection that sets Hammond & Co. apart.
Timeless Style
Fashion tastes come and go but style endures. Our design philosophy centers on updating timeless, understated elegance each season.
We avoid flashy trends in favor of clean lines, versatile colors and enduring silhouettes. These classic foundations effortlessly transition from day to night, office to weekend.
Hammond & Co. offers men affordable luxury; clothing that looks far more expensive than it actually costs. Our impeccable tailoring enhances, not overshadows, the wearer.
Our Environmental Commitment
With growing awareness of fashion’s environmental impact, clothing brands must take responsibility for their practices. Hammond & Co. is committed to doing our part.
We aim to use natural, renewable materials wherever possible. Many of our suits and jackets are crafted from wool sourced from responsible farms with high animal welfare standards.
Our supply chain partners must also meet strict environmental criteria. We partner with facilities that recycle fabric scraps, properly treat dyes and control water usage.
As a high-volume retailer, we are also phasing out unnecessary plastics in packaging and shipping materials. Our garment bags will be switched to recycled poly materials by 2025.
While much work remains, we believe sustainability must be central to fashion’s future.
