Haines and Bonner is a premium quality shirt manufacturer, founded in 1865, with shops in Covent Garden, the City of London and stockists throughout the UK.
Its corporate heritage comes from the Snowdon Collar Works, which were established in Chard, Somerset, England in 1865. Chard was in the centre of the lace and sewing trades at that time with a plentiful supply of skilled labour. It first produced the stiff collars worn by gentlemen of the time. When fashions changed the factory became shirt makers for the same London clients.
Ken Haines and David Bonner, a bespoke shirt maker and entrepreneur respectively, established a joint venture retailing the finest handmade men's shirts on London's famous Jermyn Street - the home of exclusive quality shirts.
The business was acquired by Simon Crowther in 1998. The latest designs of high quality fabric from Italy, Portugal, Austria and Germany are used to produce a range of shirts in 2-fold and 1/50s pure cotton.
