In 1896, Henry Percy and Frederick Herbert Dugdale established their cloth merchants business in Huddersfield, the centre of Britain's fine worsted industry. Using skilled designers, weavers and finishers their ranges soon found favour with the finest tailors and their reputation quickly spread throughout Europe and the Americas. Today, Dugdale Brothers and Company Limited, remain exclusive designers, fabric merchants and suppliers to Savile Row and top tailors, couturiers and retailers throughout the world.
