Very good quality formal coat, beautifully made and in very good condition Sumrie (founded by Harris Sumrie) is a classic British tailoring brand famous for high-quality men's formal wear. Their original vintage tail coats, morning coats, and evening wear mostly date from the 1940s to the 1960s. Because Harris Sumrie started manufacturing in the UK, many of these bespoke and ready-to-wear pieces reflect the classic, heavy wool and formal "white tie" or morning wear trends of the mid-20th century
