Set within one of Chester's iconic half-timbered buildings at 32 Eastgate Row South, the store's unique two-level layout offers a shopping experience steeped in history. The historic rows, dating back to the Middle Ages, originally provided covered access to the second-story merchant premises, creating a perfect setting to showcase our heritage and craftsmanship.
This new location was previously home to Mappin & Webb, with the Grade II listed building transformed into a two-floor emporium for menswear. The mezzanine level will feature an immersive display highlighting the story of Oliver Brown.
The Chester store will present our latest Autumn/Winter collection alongside a curated range of ready-to-wear pieces, formal and casual attire, including suits, jackets, trousers, shirts, and luxury accessories. We are well-known for our range of tweeds which we are bringing to the area. Our new store will also feature a Made to Measure hub located in a historic oak room, offering an exclusive tailoring services to clients. Additionally, as the official Top Hat Licensee for Royal Ascot, our signature antique silk top hats will be prominently displayed, emphasising our long standing equestrian heritage.
Kristian Ferner Robson, Founder of Oliver Brown, expressed his enthusiasm about the new opening:
“Chester, with its rich history, beautiful architecture, and renowned racecourse, is a place that’s long been close to my heart. We know that many of our valued clients are from Chester and the surrounding region. It’s also our first store outside of London. With our racing connections, from Royal Ascot to being near Chester Racecourse, the oldest racecourse in the world, this felt like a natural next step for us,” said Kristian Ferner Robson.
The Chester store opening represents a significant milestone for Oliver Brown, increasing our total store count to four and doubling the number of locations in just a year due to the success of the City of London store. Daniel Williamson, a well-known figure in the Chester tailoring scene, will manage the new store, ensuring the brand’s high standards of service and expertise.
