Our Story
About Us
Founded in Brisbane in 2007, The Cloakroom has evolved into a world renowned tailoring brand with stores in Brisbane, Montreal and Tokyo. Characterised by their artisanal quality, Cloakroom garments are cut from the finest fabrics and crafted by the finest tailors. Each piece is unique in cut and style, and allows the wearer to define who they are.
Define Who You Are
The Cloakroom is forged on the belief that clothing is an extension and expression of self; a belief that our wardrobe speaks directly to our tastes, our values and our ideas. That it says everything about who we are, without saying anything at all. It presents a rare opportunity to truly define who we are.
