Harris Sumrie (1866–1951) was a Polish, Jewish immigrant who founded the pioneering men's fashion textile company, C. and M. Sumrie Ltd, in Leeds in 1891. Harris was a skilled tailor who foresaw the potential of providing high-class male tailoring to a mass market eager for clothing that had aesthetic appeal. He founded a company specializing in the production of high-class ready-to-wear clothing and bespoke tailoring. To do this, he developed a process for creating garments in 100 different sizes. He is credited with providing the first ready-to-wear garment to the London market, and establishing Leeds as the leading center of ready-to-wear fashion. Throughout its history, Sumries was known for producing good quality clothes for the gentleman of taste.
