With 300 hundred years of ceremonial dress and forensic wig making to their name, Ede & Ravenscroft has had the privilege of acting as robe maker to Sovereigns of the United Kingdom and its territories since 1689.

Ede & Ravenscroft are the oldest tailors in London, established in 1689. They have three London premises, on Gracechurch Street, Chancery Lane and Burlington Gardens, very close to the famous Savile Row. They make, sell and hire out legal gowns and wigs, clerical dress, civic and municipal robes, academic dress and other ceremonial and formal dress, and have shops in Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh.
