Information about words in this company name or address

brookes

This ancient surname Brookes, of Olde English origins, is according to conventional wisdom, habitational from one who lived at one of the villages called Brook, or who lived by a brook. However, recent research suggests that for many nameholders their origin was job-descriptive, deriving from the post 1066 Norman French "broc", a word which translates as "pitcher" or "ewer", and as such was a metonymic for one who delivered fresh water from such a vessel. A curiosity of the name is that whilst the spelling form of Brooke(s) is consistently found throughout England, in the form of Brookes, which is the (apparent) locational spelling, it predominates only in Yorkshire, where there are no placenames of Brook! The surname development is one of the earliest on record (see below), and examples include: William de la Broke of Surrey in 1208 (locational), and Richard Brookes of Worcestershire (1275), which is job-descriptive. William de la Brookes was recorded in Somerset in 1231, whilst amongst the very earliest migrants to the American Colonies was James Brookes of London, who sailed on the sloop "Jonathon" in 1619. He returned circa 1635 to marry his wife Alice Elizabeth, before embarking again for "Virginea" in July 1635 on the ship "Assurance". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ralph Broc, which was dated 1119, in the "Pipe Rolls of Colchester", Essex, during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135.

tailors

A tailor is a person who makes, repairs, or alters clothing professionally, especially suits and men''s clothing.

Although the term dates to the thirteenth century, tailor took on its modern sense in the late eighteenth century, and now refers to makers of men''s and women''s suits, coats, trousers, and similar garments, usually of wool, linen, or silk.

The term refers to a set of specific hand and machine sewing and pressing techniques that are unique to the construction of traditional jackets. Retailers of tailored suits often take their services internationally, traveling to various cities, allowing the client to be measured locally.

Traditional tailoring is called bespoke tailoring in the United Kingdom, where the heart of the trade is in London''s Savile Row, and custom tailoring in the United States and Hong Kong. This is unlike made to measure which uses pre-existing patterns. A bespoke garment or suit is completely original and unique to each customer.

Famous fictional tailors include the tailor in The Emperor''s New Clothes and Brave Little Tailor. A more recent title is John le Carré''s The Tailor of Panama.
