As well as being home to some of the world’s most influential gentlemen, Britain has produced some of the greatest – and most well-known – brands in the world. From motoring and menswear to fine wines and fragrances, here are the 50 Best Brands our nation has to offer…

Barbour, creators of indestructible jackets

Unrivalled in every sense of the word, there’s no doubt that Barbour deserves its place on this rarified list. Not only does the British fashion brand have a heritage-heavy great story behind it, it is also one of the best in the game for functional and beautiful outerwear guaranteed to last for years to come.

Crockett & Jones, producers of the finest footwear

C&J

Something you might not know about Northampton – unless you hail from the East-Midlands town – is that it’s a place commonly associated with shoemaking, and has been since the Middle Ages. Crockett & Jones is arguably the best in this bastion of footwear, founded in 1889 and remaining wildly popular to this day for their handmade shoes and boots.

Floris, maestros of mixing fine fragrances

A fragrance that’s worthy of a gentleman can be a difficult thing to come by. There’s so much competition out there, with many signature scents coming from the continent or our friends across the pond. But a fragrance in a league of its own – created in the heart of London and epitomising all the class and sophistication of a true gent – is Floris. James Bond creator Ian Fleming favoured the brand for his super-spy, and if it’s good enough for 007, it’s good enough for you.

Joseph Bullmore, Editor of Gentleman’s Journal: “I love that London’s premier perfumer is still run and owned by the same family. Edward Bodenham, current custodian of the Floris family values, has a nose like a bloodhound and an incredible eye for marketing.

Torsten Müller-Ötvös, CEO of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars: “Rolls-Royce motor cars are an expression of something I see as quintessentially British; that exhilarating and fertile tension that exists between rebellion and tradition.

Since then, the tailors have outfitted generation upon generation of students, dressing some of Britain’s most elite pupils in their tailcoats, wing-collared shirts and, in the early days, top hats and gloves. They are unorthodox, exuberant and truly fantastic at what they do.

Simon Maloney, Product & Marketing Director: “Britishness is at the very heart of New & Lingwood . It informs and inspires every collection, every piece of styling and directly influences the vast majority of our fabric choices and designs.

“Britain is home to many of the best woollen mills, silk weavers, shoemakers and tailors in the world and they in turn continue to fuel and define many of the world’s greatest brands. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to work with them and without their collaboration , our range would be far less rich.
