历史
Isaac Walton was a gentleman’s outfitter who specialized in bespoke tailoring. Before opening his first store in London in 1878, he served his apprenticeship in the Hartlepool, Co. Durham, drapery shop of his uncle. In 1887, the company opened a branch on Grainger Street in Newcastle-upon-Tyne; by 1897 advertising for the company showed they had three stores in different parts of London. A further branch was opened in York, North Yorkshire around 1900, later moving premises in the 1930s and again in 1961. This store closed in 1973. The Newcastle-upon-Tyne part of the company is still in operation, specializing in tweeds and sporting tailoring.
