High and Mighty (clothing)
High and Mighty is a clothing retail chain for tall and/or wide men in the United Kingdom. After having been family-owned for more than fifty years, it was sold to mailorder group N Brown in September 2009.
==History==
The company was founded in Hull in 1956 by taylor Bernard Levy, as a mailorder company. The company's first store was opened in Edgware Road in London in 1959 as Northern Outsize Menswear, soon followed by several more stores. The company changed its name to High and Mighty in the 1970s,〔(High and Mighty - About Us ), Amazon UK. Retrieved 2010-10-29〕 and in 1979 it opened stores in New York City and Stamford, Connecticut, trading as ''London Majesty''. It was, however, forced to close the two US stores in 1991.
In 1990, Bernard Levy's daughter, Judith Levy, took over as chairman and managing director,〔(Judith Levy CV ), LinkedIn.

By 2000, the company had 23 stores in the UK and 10 in Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands, and launched its own urban streetwear brand, Kayak.〔
By 2008, the company started to have financial difficulties, partly because of increased competition from e-commerce retailers.〔(High & Mighty administration likely as sale looms ) Retail Week. 8 September 2009. Retrieved 2010-10-29〕 In September 2009 it went into pre-pack administration and was quickly bought by the N Brown Group's main subsidiary, mailorder firm JD Williams, for £1.6 million. 14 of the 21 stores were included in the purchase, and the N Brown management said that they wanted to reinvigorate and expand the chain, which is N Brown's first branded foray on to the high street.〔
