Few labels in the world can call themselves masters at their craft, and given the Royal Warrant of Appointment as a “Manufacturer of Fine Knitwear” by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, John Smedley's status as master manufacturers of knitwear simply cannot be contested. Founded in 1784 at the cusp of the Industrial Revolution, John Smedley's entrenchment as a household name came about in 1825 then the company designed and crafted the original "long johns." With a steady climb to worldwide success as one of Britain's most notable clothing labels, John Smedley had a host of famous clientele such as Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles, contributing to their fame. Today, the brand continues to uphold their reputation as masters of knitwear, crafting pristinely designed classics for both men and women.
