75 YEARS OF SKOPES

It’s been more than 75 years since life for Skopes began. In 1948, founder Sydney Cope, set up shop in Leeds. From the get-go, Sydney sought out fabric from Yorkshire’s finest mills to create bespoke trousers that got people talking.

As the brand’s popularity soared, so ready-to-wear clothing was born. The business continued to grow and has stayed in the family as the decades have rolled on. Sydney’s son, Geoffrey, took the reins during much of the 1970s and 80s. Since then, Sydney’s grandson, Simon Cope, has been at the helm.

Nowadays, Skopes’ suits are tailored to satisfy the demands of an ever more discerning audience, with a broad collection of dapper looks for any occasion. With roots still steadfastly in Yorkshire though, some things will never change.

So, here’s to 75 years of looking dapper!
