Gentlemans Accoutrements
We imagined the Gentleman’s Accoutrements as a curated selection of gift suggestions for the gentleman in your life. Every designer and maker listed was an artisan working in Regency society, creating goods for the fashionable and the well-connected. None of these businesses remain in operation today, except one.
James Wilkinson’s enterprise grew steadily over the centuries, evolving into one of the most recognisable accoutrement providers for the modern man: Wilkinson Sword Razors.
