The Otway & Orford brand was inspired by the founder's grandfather, the captain of several high-profile and glamorous ocean liners during the 1920s and 1930s. Thanks to Captain Owens there is a strong cricket connection for the brand, as he brought the Australian Ashes party to England in 1934 on the 'Orford' liner and took the MCC Ashes party to Australia in 1936 on the 'Orion'. Captain Owens hosted a garden party for the Australians during the 1934 series at his home in London and the father of Otway & Orford's founder was lucky enough to play cricket on the lawn with some of the players, including Donald Bradman.

Much like the Lord's Taverners, cricket is embedded in the organisation's history and one of our pocket square designs features a dynamic cricket painting by artist Helen Cooper, who has generously donated the use of her work in aid of our 75th anniversary year.

Benefit from the special pre-order price of £65 (vs £75 RRP) until close of play on Tuesday 8 April, with pocket squares paid for during this period delivered in mid-June.
