Product Description
The original R W Forsyth set up in business as hosier, Glover and shirtmaker at 5-7 Renfield Street Glasgow in 1872. The business prospered, leading to expansion to the corner of Gordon Street in 1897. Further expansion followed, with the opening of a large store on a prime site on Princes Street in Edinburgh in 1907. The business remained in the family, in the hands of the founder's son Graham and grandson Derek. Forsyth's had a strong reputation for quality clothing and fashions, and also succeeded in specialist areas such as sports equipment and school outfitting. The store closed in 1983.
