In 1903, at just 18 years old, Montague Burton borrowed ￡100 from a relative and founded the Cross-Tailoring company in Chesterfield."Good clothes cultivate a man's self-respect" was one of Burton's insights. He was committed to providing high-quality bespoke suits at reasonable prices, revolutionizing the industry with his promise of "a five-piece suit for 55 shillings."At the start of World War I, production shifted from suits to uniforms, which were worn by nearly a quarter of the armed forces. By the time Burton's company went public in 1929, it had four hundred shops, factories, and plants.
