Stylish Brown Button-Down Blazer Classic Design. British Crown Clothes was a men’s clothing brand and retailer that positioned itself as a provider of quality, English-inspired tailored clothing in the United States. While it carried an aura of British tailoring, it was actually an American brand that used the “British Crown” name to evoke prestige and tradition. Origins (Mid-20th Century): British Crown Clothes emerged in the 1940s–1950s as part of the boom in mid-market and upper-market menswear labels in the U.S. It was one of many brands during that era to use Anglicized branding (like “Lord West,” “British Crown,” “Kingsridge”) to suggest fine tailoring and heritage. Fifth Avenue Storefront: The company maintained a showroom and retail presence on Fifth Avenue in New York City, a hub for premium men’s fashion. Fifth Avenue addresses lent credibility, especially when competing against Brooks Brothers, Saks, and bespoke tailors—British Crown advertisements highlighted this location. Products: Suits, blazers, and sport coats (often marketed as “English cut”) Slacks and dress trousers Outerwear such as topcoats and trench coats A focus on affordability compared to true Savile Row tailoring, while still projecting quality. 👉 Collectors of mid-century menswear often look for British Crown sport coats and blazers, especially those with period-specific details like wide lapels from the 1970s or Ivy League-inspired tailoring from the 1960s.
