Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Good article Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox company Cad and the Dandy is an independent tailoring company based in London, England with premises on Savile Row, in the City[1] and New York City, that sells bespoke suits.
History
Cad and the Dandy was founded in 2008 James Sleater and Ian Meiers, two former bankers. They met through a supplier, as both pursued a similar business idea independently, and agreed to start the company together, each contributing £20,000 of initial capital.[2] Both had family connections to the tailoring industry, giving them knowledge helpful in launching the new company.[1]
After initially conducting fittings in rented office space, they came to an arrangement with Chittleborough & Morgan to allow appointments in their shop on Savile Row. In October 2009, the company opened its first permanent store in the City of London.[3]
The company had a turnover of £1.3M in 2010, and was listed by The Guardian in the Courvoisier Future 500.[4][5] In July 2010 the founders won the Bento Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the Macworld Awards[6] and in July 2013 they opened permanent premises on Savile Row.[7]
In 2018, Cad and The Dandy opened a New York store, on W 57th St, and also bought Götrich, Scandinavia's oldest tailoring house.[8]
Operations
Based in London, Cad & the Dandy employs more than 30 tailors in three workshops. The company launched a new flagship store at 13 Savile Row in June 2013.[7] The store is the first on the tailoring street to hand-weave a cloth before making it up into a fully finished suit.[9] The company established an apprenticeship programme for would-be tailors in London.
