Charles Tyrwhitt (British, founded in 1986)
Charles Tyrwhitt it is the British trademark of finest menswear with good measures and timeless style. The brand was founded by Nick WHEELER and named after his forebear, poor Sir Hercules Tyrwhitt, slain in 1067 on a bridge in Northumbria. During the Norman Conquest he was severely wounded and fell exhausted among the rushes of an adjoining swamp and into a nest of lapwings (in some counties called “Tyrwhitts”). Hercules’ friends found the spot where he lay thanks to the lapwings singing and hovering above him. From that day on, Hercules acquired the name Tyrwhitt, and Nick put the image of this bird on his company's logo. From the flagship on London’s famous Jermyn Street, today the brand's men's clothing is sold in the stores across the UK, USA, even Paris, and also online store.
