Aquascutum

Aquascutum Review

Known for offering quintessentially British style at prices that are reasonable for this level of workmanship, Aquascutum carries timeless men's suits and knitwear as well as a surprisingly funky women's collection with a fresh take on items like tunics and jersey dresses. Aquascutum's founder, John Emary, made his name by pioneering a rain-repellent cloth (the name means "water shield" in Latin) and designing a trench coat—as worn by Churchill and Cary Grant—that remains a signature item of the brand to this day. There is a branch at Canary Wharf, plus you'll find Aquascutum concessions within Austin Reed and Jaeger on Regent Street and within several West End department stores.
