The old-world Scottish company was founded in 1770 by James Paterson. From fibers washed in the calcium-rich waters of Dumfries, Paterson and his nephew created traditional woven garments of unparalleled softness. Now made in Italy fusing Italian shirt-making techniques with the Drumohr process, the name continues to signify quality and taste. Worn by European royalty through the centuries, admirers have included Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, the Duke of Windsor and Prince Charles.
