History: Wilsons House of Suede was a manufacturer-retailer of fine leather garments. Founded in 1950 in Beverly Hills, California by Jerry Wilson, it was known for its high-fashion style and quality. Jerry’s sons Tony, Jeffrey and Brian took over the store in 1964, and began producing TV commercials that they appeared in, raising the company’s profile and popularity.

 In the 1970s the Wilsons moved their manufacturing overseas allowing them to lower their price-point and broaden their client base. The brothers expanded the business, opening stores in shopping malls across the country.
