From Yorkshire Mills to Savile Row tailors
We are Tailors with a trusted and extensive family history.
William Crabtree & Sons is a venerable name in British Textile history. Established in Yorkshire in 1835, the company is best known for the manufacture of fine wool and hair blankets and duffle cloths.
In its manufacturing heyday
the company notably supplied the Hudson Bay blanket company and in 1851, exhibited at HRH Prince Albert’s "Works of Industry of all Nations Exhibition".
15 New Quebec Street
In 2020 we took the step to open our first brick and mortar shop. We expanded on our original made to measure offering, to include knitwear, accessories, shirts and more, expanding with different brands and products as time went on, we did this in order to make the William Crabtree look as accessible to our ready to wear customer as it would to to our made to measure clients.
By choosing New Quebec Street to call home we sought to create a welcoming and comfortable environment, that while contemporary had William Crabtree's 19th Century charm. Inside the modern art sits alongside traditional fixtures and fittings.
