Hi everyone.

Does anyone know anything about Bromleigh New York?
Did they only do coats?

I looked in the Label resource & couldn't find the name anywhere.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Peace & Love

A 1962 ad notes that they have a "special purchase of famous Bromleigh coats"

A 1965 ad for coats states: "Choose quality and famouse makers from these ..." and one of the makers is Bromleigh.''

A 1968 ad states that the store sells "Famous Make Coats" including Bromleigh. One of the Bromleigh coats featured in the ad is a "Famous fit Bromleigh fashioned coat of checked novelty weave of 72% wool, 20% acrylic, 8% nylon, with popular belted back, notched collar, flap pockets, full lined. Result of a century of tailoring excellence."

A 1973 newspaper advertises a "Bromleigh for Fall" coat for $90.

A 1976 newspaper has ads for a "Special group of Bromleigh pant coats" and a "Special group of Bromleigh street length coats."

A 1977 newspaper advertises Bromleigh pant coats and Bromleigh long coats.

Ancestry.com had only 13 hits for "Bromleigh NY" and all were for coats.
 
In another database a 1909 newspaper advertised a Bromleigh blouse (which might be why the later ad mentioned Bromleigh's 100 years of 'tailoring excellence.'

1922 and 1923 Canadian newspapers advertised "Northway's Famous Bromleigh coats."

A 1943 newspaper advertises "the glamour of lynx-dyed fox collars on a clear beige" coat "styled by Bromleigh in the favorite box style of the season."

A 1946 newspaper ad for Calvert Manufacturing Co. Says they are "Manufacturers of the nationally-known "Bromleigh" coats for women" and that they are "manufacturers of quality coats since 1916."

A 1949 newspaper advertises coats "Fashioned by "Bromleigh" of New York, makers of perfectly proportioned coats..."

A 1955 ad for a coat notes that it was "Tailored by Bromleigh ... famous for tailoring, fit, and line for over a quarter century."

A 1960 ad states that "The Bromleigh label means that accent is placed upon BEHIND THE SEAMS construction. It also means a concentrated emphasis is put on FIT and truly fine WORKMANSHIP."

A 1964 article states that "Bromleigh uses imported fabrics and American knowhow to give us the most beautiful collection of coats ever."
