47th Anniversary This Year Since Launch in 1977
Showcasing Order and Custom Production Expertise
Supporting Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra Performance Attire
Kolon Industries FnC Division's men's suit brand Cambridge Members is a living witness to the history of Korean fashion. Launched in 1977, Cambridge has been writing the history of men's suits in Korea for 47 years.
Cambridge's accumulated expertise in suit making is embodied in its Made-To-Measure (MTM) service. Through consultations with professional tailors, customers can not only have their measurements taken but also choose their desired designs and various details for custom suits. Recently, Cambridge has been showcasing its MTM technology by producing uniforms for national athletes and concert attire for the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 2021, Cambridge supplied suits for the Korean national team to wear at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics. The Korean national team uniforms designed by Cambridge were selected as one of the "11 Fashion Moments to Watch at the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony" by the global fashion media WWD.
In 2022, Cambridge also participated in producing uniforms for the Korean national football team. To emphasize the dignity of the national team, Cambridge designed a sophisticated 3-piece suit (jacket, vest, pants) paired with a tie, highlighting the team's prestige through the choice of colors. Last year, Cambridge applied its custom tailoring technology to women's suits by producing uniforms for the 2023 FIFA Australia-New Zealand Women's World Cup national team. To emphasize the dignity and elegance of the national team, the overall uniform was designed in navy-colored suits.
Additionally, last year Cambridge collaborated with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra to provide concert attire. The concert wear was planned in the form of formal tailcoats, producing a set including suit jackets and pants, vests, bow ties, cummerbund shirts, and socks. Utilizing the MTM service, each piece was custom-made to fit the individual body shapes and sizes of the orchestra members, expanding Cambridge’s reach into the 'elite classic suit' category.
Going forward, Cambridge plans to solidify its position as a 'high-end casualizing' menswear brand by introducing casual products based on tailoring, aiming to expand its customer base while maintaining loyalty among existing customers through a premium strategy.
