        历史

        Weaver to Wearer Limited was a multiple tailoring label, the retail division of manufacturers Town Tailors Ltd, established by Hector Mackenzie Frazer in about 1932. They had tailoring stores across the United Kingdom while the suits were made in factories in Leeds and Castleford. They were the cheapest of the Leeds-based multiples, for example during the 1930s they sold suits for 30 shillings, with a pair of shoes included. In 1954 they were taken over by GUS (Great Universal Stores) who also owned men's tailoring firms John Temple and Neville Reed. From the mid-1960s GUS turned many of the Weaver to Wearer stores into Neville Reed shops and the company was dissolved in 1977.
