John Morgan

Here are two dashing gentlemen in John Morgan suits!

John Morgan and Co. were London based bespoke suit makers; although not on Savile Row the shop was on 11 St. George Street on Hannover Square. My grey herringbone is double breasted with gloriously wide peaked lapels, four cuff buttons (three working) and adjusters on the trousers. Both of these suits are very heavily canvased and really give breadth to the chest. Zack's Morgan is a two button notched lapel with a bit more weight in the cloth. Also with trouser adjustors, the checked cloth is like none we have ever seen. It has a blue dye thats seems somewhat uniform throughout the cloth. Both are great bespoke suits, mine was constructed in 1977 and Zack's 1979.

John F. Kennedy was a customer of Mr. Morgan. They first met while Joseph Kennedy was ambassador to the U.K., the young JFK got his first bespoke suit from Morgan and continued to be a client until his presidency when the so called 'gold drain' trade deficit forced Kennedy to buy American.
