Westaway and Westaway began trading as a men's wear wholesaler in 1937. It opened its first showroom in Bloomsbury, London at the end of the second World War and this became a retail shop during the mid 50's offering a large selection of high quality Scottish Knitwear and tartans which proved to be very popular with students and tourists from overseas. Its second shop was opened opposite the British Museum in the swinging sixties when tight fitting Shetland pullovers and mini kilts were the height of fashion. Westaways cotinued to expand during the 70's and became famous the world over for having possibly the largest selection of Cashmere knitwear from the leading Scottish manufacturers at the most reasonable prices in London. This was confirmed in an article in the New York Times written by Elaine Goodman early in 1985.
At its peak in the early to mid 80's, Westaway & Westaway occupied three shops in the Holborn area of London, the one illustrated above at 62/65 Great Russe
