In Short – For more than a century, this famous British apparel line has outfitted intrepid outdoorsmen and urban fashionistas alike with its signature camel, red, black and white check. Once a supplier of uniforms and home to the first gabardine material, the brand has become increasingly elegant to encompass men's and women's suits, coats, sportswear, high-end shoes, leatherware, fragrances, accessories and home accents. The company invented the first trench coat and remains synonymous with the high-end version of that classic.
