Richard James tailoring was founded in 1992 by Richard James and Sean Dixon. Richard James is a designer and the brand was named after him. He is a graduate from the Brighton College of Art. Sean Dixon was his business partner. Richard James has taken beyond its two London flagship stores - to form a quintessentially British luxury brand on an international footing (including locations and stockists in Tokyo, Mumbai, Paris and New York), and encompassing accessories to skincare, denim to casual wear and cologne.

Integral to the company is craftsmanship and service, expertise and a consistency in fit and quality - working closely with the top mills to design exclusive fabrics and with the leading manufacturers in their industry for special small pieces.

Savile Row may be recognized as a world centre for its tailoring skills, but it is Richard James that has led its recent revival - away from its dustier, clubby traditions towards a progressive attitude that makes shopping an un-intimidating, pleasurable experience.
