What is the name of the British fashion retailer owned by Dragon's Den investor Touker Suleyman?

The story behind the answer

Hawes & Curtis is the British fashion retailer owned by Dragon's Den investor Touker Suleyman.

Hawes & Curtis is a shirtmaker and clothing retailer founded in London in 1913. Suleyman acquired the company in 2005 and developed it as a multichannel fashion business with shops and online sales.

The brand is particularly associated with formal shirts, tailoring and menswear, although it also sells womenswear. Its long history predates Suleyman's involvement by many decades, so the retailer's founding date and ownership date are not the same event.

Suleyman is also associated with the fashion brand Ghost, which he acquired in 2007. That connection can cause confusion, but Ghost and Hawes & Curtis are separate businesses. Hawes & Curtis is the specific retailer identified by this question.
