THe Lord Mayor of London at the proclamation of the accession of George V

Ede and Ravenscroft has long enjoyed the patronage of the City of London.  The company tailors robes for the Lord Mayor, the aldermen, sheriff, common councillors and the Lord Mayor’s household. 

The Municipal Corporations Act of 1835 established many new mayoralties throughout the British Isles.  Most mayors wanted their robes designed on long-established patterns used by the City of London.  Hats, jabots, rosettes and ribbons are all still handmade to order.

Ede and Ravenscroft keeps detailed and extensive records of designs of robes and regalia worn by mayors, town clerks, aldermen and councillors of nearly four hundred boroughs and cities in the UK as well as important municipalities throughout the world.  When new robes are ordered designs are verified.  A full cleaning and refurbishment service for all robes ensures their pristine appearance.
