What is Gibson London?
Gibson London is a menswear brand that describes its style as authentic British menswear. Founded in 1964, it was one of the first labels to combine the craft of Savile Row tailoring with the flamboyance of Carnaby Street, two very different strands of London's menswear history.
Products and positioning
The brand's core is tailoring, with suits that range from tweeds to bold checks. The wider offer includes:
- Suit jackets and trousers sold as separates
- Waistcoats
- Chinos and casual trousers
- Hats and other accessories
Gibson London presents itself as honest, individual and true to its heritage, with tailoring that leans on characterful fabrics and patterns rather than plain business suiting.
Distribution
The brand sells directly to consumers through its own web shop and through retail partners. Its business operations are based at Thorpe Park in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Why it matters
Gibson London illustrates how a heritage menswear name can translate classic British tailoring codes, such as tweed and checks, into a contemporary, accessible offer for a broad market.
