Crombie 1805 Ltd., formerly known as J&J Crombie Ltd., are the owners of the globally recognised Crombie brand, producing high-end clothing and accessories, for men and women under the Crombie brand name and label. The brand is famous for being worn by Royalty, Presidents, Statesman and Hollywood stars from Cary Grant in the 1920s up until today, with Vincent Cassel, Brian Cox and many others recently pictured wearing Crombie. Most renowned for luxury coats, the Crombie name and the brand are so well known that the word is included in The Oxford English Dictionary: "Crombie -used to designate a type of Overcoat, Jacket etc made by J&J Crombie Ltd".
'Crombie' is sometimes used by other companies to refer to their own coats produced in the style of Crombie's most famous three-quarter length (usually wool) overcoats, although the Crombie company are known to take legal action to prevent this trademark word from being used generically.[1]
