Washington Tremlett

Washington Tremlett is documented as a London-based tailor and shirtmaker reportedly established in 1870, with origins in Paris and a Savile Row presence by 1882. A 1895 commercial directory lists the business at 41 Conduit Street in London and 13 rue Auber in Paris. Its historical identity centered on bespoke shirtmaking, and reference coverage describes it by the 1960s as a leading destination for dress shirts. In 1892, a published account attributes to Washington Tremlett the creation of a seven-fold cravat for an American customer attending the Paris Opera. The business was also associated with theatrical wardrobe work, including fittings for My Fair Lady. Threatened by recession, it was taken under the Kilgour name, which at one time owned the Washington Tremlett name and used it for its Savile Row custom-shirtmaking business. Perfume Intelligence dates its fragrance launches to the early 2000s and records Washington Tremlett as no longer operating as a separate business entity. By 2008–2010, coverage focused primarily on fragrances, including Black Tie and London-themed scents. Black Tie is described as a rose-and-saffron composition over earthy woods.
