Austin Read's international expansion began back in 1929 when Cunard selected Austin Read to open a shop on the transatlantic liner, the Aquitania, reflecting the extent to which the company had established itself as the UK's premier menswear retailer. This was followed by concessions on two great ships, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, in 1936 and 1946 respectively.

Today Austin Read operates licence agreements in USA, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malayasia and India and has over 1,400 stockists around the world. [ Source: www.austin-reed.co.uk ]
