About Tiger:

 

Tiger of Sweden is a Stockholm-based fashion house specialising in ready-to-wear fashion, footwear and accessories. Founded in 1903, the brand initially produced ready-to-wear men's suits. It now offers men's and women's fashion sold across Europe, North America and South Africa. Founded in Uddevalla, Sweden in 1903 by Marcus Schwarzman and Hjalmar Nordström, the brand was first known as Schwarzman & Nordström. The brand founders introduced the ready-to-wear suit to common people in Sweden.

 

In the 1920s, the brand introduced a suit range called “Tiger”, which became so popular that the brand was later renamed Tiger of Sweden. The brand became northern Europe's largest fashion brand in the 1930s and produced over 140,000 suits a year.
