T.M.Lewin is a historic British shirtmaker that has been a staple of London's Jermyn Street since its inception in 1898. Originally founded by Thomas Mayes Lewin, the brand earned a prestigious reputation for its high-quality tailoring and innovation in shirt design, notably being credited with the creation of the 'coat shirt'—the predecessor to the modern button-down shirt.

Over the decades, T.M.Lewin transitioned from a boutique London tailor into a global menswear retailer. After facing financial challenges and undergoing a series of ownership changes and restructurings in the early 2020s, the brand moved primarily to an e-commerce model. While it remains quintessentially British in design and heritage, manufacturing is conducted across multiple countries to maintain a diverse and competitive supply chain.

Today, the brand is owned by Torque Capital Group, an investment firm that has focused on revitalizing the brand's presence in the premium shirt market. Despite the shifts in business structure, T.M.Lewin remains a symbol of classic English professional attire, continuing to offer formal shirts, suits, and accessories tailored for the modern professional.
