The Beginning of Everything
Peter England was founded more than 100 years ago in 1889 under the name “Old England Brand”. The company began producing military uniforms for British soldiers. In 1957, the brand name was changed to the current name. Peter England debuted in the Indian clothing market in 1997. The brand was acquired by the Aditya Birla Group in 2000.
The first product of the launching brand is khaki pants. This product was used by the British Army in the Boer Wars. The brand that debuted in the Indian clothing market was not successful.

Peter England was the first Indian brand to introduce adjustable waist pants.
