Style Monotony and the Business of Fashion: The Marketing of Menswear in Inter-war England

Abstract Using a range of written and photographic evidence this article explores the extent to which fashion informed the marketing strategies of mens multiple tailors in their construction of a suit-wearing democracy. Using insights from marketing theory to analyse positioning material, it illustrates how tailoring businesses established and then enhanced market share, and concludes that although the mans suit of the inter-war years appeared to be uniform and unchanging, in fact it was possible to incorporate distinguishing or fashionable characteristics. The products of the most successful business by far — that of Montague Burton — reflected both fashion and style monotony, allowing for the satisfaction of individual taste within an otherwise standard garment.

Origins of Enterprise: Business Leadership in the Industrial Revolution

Katrina Honeyman, a lecturer in economic history at the University of Leeds, critically examines the role of the self-made man in the early Industrial Revolution, a subject first popularized by Samuel Smiles in the 1850s and, Honeyman claims, perpetuated by such historians as T. S. Ashton, C. H. Lee, Francois Crouzet, and Sidney Pollard. The basic outline of their traditional argument should be familiar to most students of this pioneering phase of British economic development: given the primitive technological nature of British industry, the fixed capital requirements of the first industrialists were quite small. Ambitious and determined small men, often from artisan backgrounds, therefore were able to invest their limited savings into industry and, with luck and hard work, move into the ranks of successful entrepreneurs. Only with the continued progress of industrialization and its ever-increasing technological and capital demands did this avenue of upward mobility for small men close off.
