Beaufort & Blake was founded in 2012 by three university friends who created a patriotic themed dress shirt for a friend attending a ‘Best of British’ May Ball. After moving to London they developed their own range of of printed clothing and accessories.
I recently attended a ball wearing one of their beautifully-made Liberty print dress shirts (above) with fox-head (of course) studs.These revive the eighties popularity of shirts with colourful printed arms and back, invisible when worn under evening wear, but shown in all their glory once the jacket is removed. This can be traced to the mess rooms of the British Army where traditional black-tie dress is regularly worn and officers. To mark their individuality once formal proceedings were completed, they would remove their jackets to display humorous and colourful shirts.
