King & Allen celebrate – the Prince of Wales Check
The Prince of Wales check is named after Edward VII (not his grandson Edward VIII as many people believe). The original check was created in around 1840 by the countess of Seafield to outfit her game-keepers (who still wear the check to this day).

Our Reordering Service
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do here at King & Allen and we're always delighted to welcome previous customers back for a new garment. In a recent survey, we found that a lot of our clients wanted the opportunity to be able to reorder items, such as trousers and shirts, without necessarily coming in to see us.
