OUR STORY
OUR HISTORY
Our iconic and historic shopfront first opened it its doors to the public in the late 1800's, offering tailor-made suite
Originally named Sloane's, the family-run business first opened its doors in 1938, forging a strong reputation for providing the locals with well tailored, good quality clothing underpinned by exceptional service.
In 1983, and under new leadership the business evolved into Judds, broadening their offering to include womens clothing as well as the ever-increasing consumer demand for snow and surf gear. In the mid-90’s we added Ski hire to our portfolio as the popularity of the surrounding snowfields grew into a top tourist destination.
OUR EVOLUTION
When long-time employees Delfina & AJ made the leap from staff member to owners in late 2014, they both knew they wanted to get back to what they do best and return Judds to its original roots. This drove the expansion of the formal clothing range and added bespoke tailoring services for weddings, graduations, special occasions and business attire and a huge range of complementing accessories
Combining the latest looks from the hottest names in menswear with a love of fashion and good old fashioned service, it's not surprising that Judds is widely considered the top destination for menswear in and around Wangaratta.
OUR IDENTITY
Now, if you're a long term customer of Judds or even a regular passer by our Murphy Street store then you might have noticed some changes to our shop.
Just like the men we dress, it’s equally as important our brand stay for fresh, relevant and on trend. Since taking over the business in 2016 - owners Delf & AJ have taken a customer centric approach to the business - getting to know the Judd’s shopper and then refining our offering and brand portfolio to cater to them. Three years on and Judd’s is arguably the 'go-to' destination for the widest variety of men’s fashion labels in Wangaratta, so it was imperative to us that our brand reflect that.
