Aquascutum is being eyed by Harold Tillman, the fashion entrepreneur best known for taking
upmarket retailer Jaeger from classic to cutting edge.
According to the Financial Times, the buy-out of Aquascutum would see two heritage brands steeped in rich British history united under Mr Tillman's ownership. It would also be a fillip for Mr Tillman, reports the broadsheet, who is chairman of the British Fashion Council, ahead of what is expected to be a bumper London Fashion Week. Mr Tillman has been weighing up a bid for some time for Aquascutum, which has been put up for sale by its Japanese owner Renown, according to people familiar with the matter.
