Story

Albert Thurston opened his first shop in London in 1820 at 27 Panton Street, near Haymarket. At that time, it was fashionable to wear high-waisted trousers. However, because the waistband reached up to the man's waist, wearing a belt became uncomfortable. Albert Thurston developed a solution to this problem that also created a gap in the market: suspenders. In the early years of Albert Thurston's life, suspenders were considered underwear and were worn under undershirts so that they were not visible. In 1851, Albert Thurston received an award at the World Exhibition of Culture and Industry for the high quality workmanship and comfort of his suspenders. Today, almost 200 years after its founding, the British brand is still known for its high-quality materials and excellent workmanship.
