| Description: |
Our earliest records show the company in existence in the late 1700’s. Jonathan Meyer, a tailor from Austria, established a tailoring and military outfitting business at 36 Conduit Street in the late eighteenth century, but Meyer and Mortimer’s origins lie partly in Scotland. Whilst Meyer was becoming established in London, the Mortimer family in Edinburgh were specialising in military outfitting. As was the practice in those days, such companies also supplied their customers with swords, ceremonial dirks and firearms. Many authenticated examples of Mortimer weapons remain in existence. Surviving records show that Jonathan Meyer’s company was making clothes for the Prince Regent and his fashion mentor, Beau Brummell, as early as 1800. When the prince ascended the throne as George IV he awarded the company a royal warrant - the first of many through the years, right down to warrants awarded by the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. Meyer & Mortimer continues to perform an important service for numerous satisfied customers. The company’s elegant approach to tailoring is summed up by its compliment slips, which carry the message ‘with Meyer & Mortimer’s respectful compliments’. The company’s bespoke garments reflect this traditional, deferential attitude, with the emphasis very much on quality and personal service.
