D.S. Dundee—a Whirling Dervish of UK Fashion

D.S. Dundee—the UK brand with a strong Scottish and English heritage but without the staidness or stuffiness—finds its roots in a mix of street wear and aristocratic country gentry.

D.S. Dundee was launched in 1994 by two long-time friends, Oliver Pilcher and Jim Pickles, who, focusing on classic tailoring and traditional UK fabrics, have infused premium-brand menswear with a luxurious dose of modernity.

Tailoring by D.S. Dundee highlights the masculinity of the wearer as it is inspired by the “Atatürk suit” of revolutionary Turkish leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881-1938), founder and 1st president of Turkey, who initiated the clothing reform and adopted European dress for himself.

Rugged yet refined, D.S. Dundee offers a contemporary aesthetic.
