Our Story
Knights Tailoring was founded by Jonathan Knight in 2007. An Army veteran, Jon served with the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery for 22 years with fifteen as the unique ceremonial unit’s Master Tailor. Initially just to serve the military, the company which Jon started in his spare bedroom has expanded over the years to tailor uniforms for regiments countrywide fulfilling defence supply contracts, as well providing tailoring, embroidery and printing services to corporate clients and individuals.
Our 20-strong team come from a wide variety of backgrounds; some are ex-military or military dependants, some came with tailoring experience, others we have trained up. What we share is those core values which we encourage to shine through in our work.
Jon had raised many thousands for military charities SSAFA and the Royal British Legion, and Cancer Research UK through his commitment as a keen cyclist undertaking gruelling rides in aid of these great causes. While his 2020 challenge to ride 1300 miles from Tidworth to Murcia in Spain in aid of the Royal British Legion was postponed by the COVID-19 crisis, Jon hopes to undertake this marathon trip in September 2021.
