Very good.
Heathrow Harry Tradition.
In the early 14th century members began wearing distinctive clothing which identified their trade associations/guilds - a 'livery'. The practice extended and gradually led to them being known as Livery Companies. The custom has continued unbroken to this day. All companies have livery robes, including the newest which became the 108th Livery Company in 2008.
The robes are worn by members of the executive committee on ceremonial occasions and by new Liverymen when they are formally 'clothed' in the livery of their Company.
