Jermyn Street is London’s Shirt Street and the home of many proud ampersands. Turnbull & Asser, New & Lingwood, Hawes & Curtis. And today I bring you Harvie & Hudson and Hilditch & Key. They are inextricably linked (aside from by the “&”) to that splendid east-west thoroughfare south of and parallel to Piccadilly. Jermyn Street runs like a thread of good class tweed through the history of English shirt and tie making, hat-selling, hair-dressing and tobacco provisioning. Astley, Davidoff and Dunhill were the places to go for what were called “smoking requisites”. The smell of Dunhill’s jars of vanilla Cavendish pervaded the street when I was a soigné young arse-about-town. Bates’s the hatter. Taylor's and Trumpers the hairdressers. Fortnum & Mason (est. 1707). Wilton’s restaurant (est. 1742). Such tradition.

@hilditch_and_key were est. 1899 and @harvieandhudson 50 years later. Swipe left for a second Harvie & Hudson tie in Pic 2. This was issued last year as part of their 70th anniversary celebrations. And very comely it is too.
Charles F. Hilditch and W. Graham Key were already experienced in the Jermyn St shirt business when they came together to set up their own business on Tottenham Court Road. Success soon allowed them to return to SW1. Thomas Harvie and George Hudson followed a similar trajectory, making their name and then moving to Shirt Street where they have been ever since. More Harvies (Jeff and Richard) and more Hudsons (Derek, Howard and Andrew) have carried on, with Howard’s daughter Lee Beaumont now serving as Financial Director.
I’m a shameless hussy when it comes to tie and shirt buying. I’ll pop into H&H one day, H&K another, or N&L, T&A, H&C, Tyrwhitt, Lewin or Pink on other days. As the mood strikes. No loyalty. But there are (or certainly were) old gentlemen who have always been Harvie & Hudson and would no more think of wearing a Turnbull and Asser shirt than they would a pair of lycra shorts. “My grandfather wore Hilditch & Key and so do I.” “We’re a Hawes and Curtis family, always have been” … that sort of thing. Maybe such types still exist.

Let's hear it for the &mpersands
