About Ledbury
It is hard to find an American company that makes men’s dress and casual shirts and most of Ledbury’s business is manufactured overseas. However, in 2015 the company revived one of America’s oldest bespoke shirtmakers and today carries century old tailoring at its Richmond workshop where master craftsman make shirts by hand. For that truly fine-fitting tailored shirt that is made in the USA, Ledbury’s takes custom orders at its Richmond location and the result is a luxurious fit and feel.
