Nice 1880s illustrated piece from Peter Robinson's Rex Shirt. Robinson's was located London, England. It was established in 1833 on Oxford Street and soon opened several other locations. In 1903 it was bought by the Cross-Tailoring Company, which is now the Arcadia Group. In 1964 the company launched Peter Robinson's Top Shop. In 1974 Robinson's name was dropped and first stand alone Top Shop was opened.
