Our Heritage

A Legacy Reborn

Founded in 1888 by Samuel Howell Franklin, S.H. Franklin dressed generations of distinguished gentlemen in Lynchburg for nearly a century. The founder believed that exceptional clothing should be accessible to any man who values quality, craftsmanship, and personal style.

In 2026, we revive that tradition—blending time-honored tailoring techniques with contemporary sensibilities to create wardrobes that stand the test of time.
