History
Cowan and Lewis Pty Ltd (C & L) is a wholly owned Australian private company operated by the owners.
C & L was formed in 1972 when it assumed the role of young gentleman's outfitters vacated by Peapes.
The business specialised in providing good quality schoolwear to the boys of the GPS and CAS schools at competitive prices, including the tailoring of sporting blazers and colour coats for those who have gained sporting colours and academic excellence, and attending to the necessary embroidery requirements in a timely and professional manner.
In 1989 C & L merged with Newmans School Sports, formerly Stan McCabe School Sports, following the retirement of Mr. Vern Newman, and enlarged it's specialist services to embrace the requirements of public schools and selected girls' schools.
