Aquascutum London, China Shield of Poppies, Remembrance, Art
Aquascutum London / China
"Shield of Poppies"
Specially created by an artist friend
to commemorate Remembrance Day also
paying tribute to the staff contribution.
Aquascutum was established in 1851, the year of the Great Exhibition, when tailor and entrepreneur John Emary opened a high quality menswear shop at 46 Regent Street. In 1853, after succeeding to produce the first waterproof wool, he had his discovery patented and renamed the company ‘Aquascutum’, Latin for ‘watershield’. In 1901, Emary moved to 100 Regent Street in the heart of London. In September Austin Reed had moved into that location at 100 Regent Street after it was announced that Aquascutum was in trouble.
Coats for officers in the Crimean War (1853–1856) were made from Aquascutum’s waterproof fabric, as were the trench coats worn by soldiers of all ranks in both world wars.
Domestic and fashion applications followed, promoted in the 19th century by royal fashion leader King Edward VII. His majesty was Aquascutum’s first royal client, ordering an Aquascutum coat in the Prince of Wales check. In 1897, Aquascutum was granted a royal warrant, the first that would mark the British royal family’s long patronage of the company.
In 1900, Aquascutum opened a womenswear department, offering water-repellent capes and coats, which were extremely popular among British suffragettes.
The company has created other fabrics and coats using similar names, such as the Eiderscutum light overcoat and (in 1962) the multicoloured wool-yarn weave, Aquaspectrum.
The company has supplied aristocrats, political leaders, and actors, including three Princes of Wales, Prince Rainier of Monaco, Sir Winston Churchill, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Cary Grant, and Michael Caine.
During the 1980s and 1990s Kinglsey Matheson Pink, Managing Director of the Regent Street flagship store dressed UK prime minister Baroness Thatcher. Unknown to Matheson Pink, this included her her historic visit to the USSR, which included from coats and tailored suits to dresses and evening wear.
He was also subsequently responsible for dressing Prime Minister Sir John Major, as well as a number of other international dignitaries including the King of Malaysia.
Aquascutum was family owned until 1990, when it was purchased by Japanese textile conglomerate company Renown Incorporated, and then by Jaeger in September 2009. It is the property of YGM Trading, a Chinese fashion retailer since April 2012.

"A master of urban social realism." Living South
"...the chronicler of our times." Michael Holland, Southwark News

"By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show."
Samuel Johnson
Don't miss your chance to see a popular London artist Ed Gray's work along with the street sketches that inform it in this wonderful, secret, historic London location.
Gray is a chronicler of London who has painted the evolving story of London life over many years. Inspired by the hurly-burly of Hogarth’s London Gray’s mission is to unearth the passion and energy of the city by sketching London souls and preserving their precious interactions on canvas to share with the viewer.
The London that every Londoner knows is here in all its multiple manifestations of joy, misery, industry and exhaustion. Migrants mix with city workers and street hustlers in a truly soulful depiction of 21st century London. Lovers, fighters, workers, gossips, carousers and the broken and damaged spill from the street to the pages of his sketchbook and finally onto canvases that celebrate the industry, passion and drive of actual Londoners and their part in the continuing story of London. Gray’s admiration for 15thC religious artist Piero Della Francesca is reflected in this fantastically atmospheric historic venue. St Pancras Church was built in 1820, and if you listen carefully, you
can almost hear the whispers of London Souls from days gone by.
The Private View will feature soulful folk music from musician Burton Bradstock who will present a night of reimagined 19th Century English songs from the time the crypt was built. Burton will be accompanied by Dorian Ford on piano. www.burtonbradstockmusic.com
