"Mark Cho established The Armoury in Hong Kong in 2010 with his then business partner Alan See (who has since left), driven by a passion for tailoring (he also owns British haberdasher Drake's) and a commitment to showcasing exquisite craftsmanship from hand-picked suppliers across the world. Brands include Alden, Cohérence, Frank Clegg and Ring Jacket. A committed watch collector, Cho has expanded into notable watch collaborations with Swiss mavericks H. Moser & Cie., the Japanese independent Naoya Hida & Co. and the Scotland-based Paulin."
"Mats Klingberg's Trunk Clothiers, with locations first in London and then a second in Zurich, focuses on bringing in brands from Italy and Japan that become genuine wardrobe staples. Like The Armoury, Trunk has its own label, which includes cashmere knitwear, Oxford shirts, overcoats and tote bags. Trunk now stocks brands from around the world, including orSlow, Fedeli, Kaptain Sunshine and Caruso."
Two entrepreneurs founded independent menswear stores as welcoming community hubs where men meet, talk, get advice, discover products and buy clothes that make them feel good. Each founder curated labels they personally wear to shape distinctive, complementary retail identities focused on craftsmanship and wardrobe staples. Mark Cho opened The Armoury in Hong Kong in 2010, emphasizing tailoring, global suppliers, in-house products and notable watch collaborations, expanding to New York and a Hong Kong location with a cigar lounge. Mats Klingberg developed Trunk Clothiers from London to Zurich, sourcing Italian and Japanese brands and creating an own label stocked alongside global names.
