Gibson London is renowned for authentic British Menswear rich in heritage and style. Gibson London were one of the first British menswear brands to fuse traditional Savile Row tailoring techniques with Carnaby Street flamboyance.

Sixties music and the modernist era helped to define the ethos of our brand: honesty, integrity and individuality with a non-conformist approach to what we wear and how we wear it. This can be evidenced in every cloth we use, every lining, every button and every stitch – clothing which has a soul and means more to the wearer than just the sum of its parts.

Whilst Mod culture inspired our beginnings it by no means defines us today and the Gibson London offering has evolved over the years into a comprehensive lifestyle menswear collection of both formal and casual wear with a broad fanbase.

We remain true to our heritage in continually striving to craft garments of exceptional taste and individuality which are above all pleasing to wear and firm favourites in the wardrobes of our customers in all corners of the globe.

Designed for the modern-day rascal. An Antique Rogue suit makes no apologies with its big personality. Combining traditional tailoring techniques with unique and quirky fabrics, an Antique Rogue suit is sure to turn heads.

Antique Rogue was born out of a demand for the less ordinary, for someone who seeks something a little different. Each cloth tells a story and each wearer of an Antique Rogue suit has plenty of stories to tell.

Founded by Nick Holland, a relation to Maurice Holland who owned the Gibson London brand, tailoring ran in his blood. The Limehouse area of the east end was not only home to the famous Docklands but was where Nick found his inspiration to create the brand Limehaus we know today. He became enthralled with the cultural mix living alongside one another and the vastly experienced tailoring and fabric merchant community.

The eclectic mix still exists in the direction of the brand some thirty years on. Ingenuity with twists of colour and fabric with an overriding sense of British wit and humour.
