Bisley History

Bisley has a heritage of more than 55 years and has long been regarded as a trustworthy, solid and honest brands. The company began trading around 1950 when founders Emery Rusti and Alex Menczel commenced dabbling in the garment business. John Woods was the first General Manager and only joined after his pig farming enterprise was wiped out with swine fever. Woods employed Keith Stewart a leading city agent for men’s shirts and he developed the business to the point where a brand name was required. One of the popular sayings of the era was ‘just the shot’ and was used when referring to something that was ‘just right’ or ‘perfect for the occasion’. At that time because so many men had continued recreational shooting after the war, the world rifle championship was a huge event. It was held annually in England in the town of Bisley, the name was adopted and, and the tag line “Bisley – just the shot” used in early promotional activity. Today the trademark of Bisley is a Boar, which symbolizes the strong resilient nature of the Workwear we make. 

Bisley today encompasses a comprehensive range of Work Wear, Safety Wear, Business Wear, and Casual Wear for Men and Women. It’s the competitive pricing, exceptional quality and accessibility of Bisley that sets it apart from the competition. Bisley prides itself on the good old-fashioned values we stand by, quality, value for money and exceptional service.
