ABOUT US
Kashket™ This is the retail arm of the Kashket Group; a coming together of a number of historic manufacturing enterprises that are quintessentially British with a history going back over 330 years.

Kashket & Partners
Makes a range of military uniforms, corporate clothing, and headwear as well as an exciting range of suits, shirts, footwear and accessories to a worldwide client base.

Formerly hatters and clothiers to the Russian Court of the Czar, Kashket & Partners is now a British Royal Warrant.

Many of the military uniforms seen in London almost every day, on State and Public parades of the Queens guard are produced by the group. Our crowning glory is our involvement in the manufacture of clothing and equipment for the ceremonial showcase that is the Queen’s Birthday Parade.

The Parade is seen every year by many thousands of visitors to London and countless millions on television around the world. Almost every garment, hat and polished metal ceremonial article in that parade will now be made by a Kashket Group company.

Firmin and Sons has origins dating back to before the reign of Charles II. The company is however not formally recorded as being established until 1677, since documentation of the company’s early history was sadly lost in a fire in London in 1666. The company however remains one of the longest established companies in the United Kingdom.

Famed for having supplied military equipment to both sides in the American Civil War, Firmin and sons currently holds three Royal Warrants of Appointment. In particular Firmin and Sons has the honour of holding the Royal Warrant as button manufacturer to Her Majesty The Queen, this same warrant has been held for each successive monarch since King George II, showing Firmin’s continuous commitment to providing products and services of the very highest standards.

Patey Hats
Another group company Patey Hats has a heritage going back over 200 years, Patey is like all Kashket Group companies proud holders of the Queen’s Warrant. Patey still have craftsmen that create hats using the same skills as hat makers in the eighteenth century.

Patey Hats today however include those that satisfy the safety standards of the international horse riding world and the style needs of the Spice Girls!
