I found this quite by accident and I'm sure some of you have done so as well, but for those who haven't:

I've heard of them. Always thought that whoever named it must not watch the show, because we all know that Jeeves is actually the fashion expert. Perhaps they thought a store called "Jeeves, Inc." would sound like a butler costume shop or something.

Or they were afraid they'd get sued by "Ask Jeeves" - but I don't think that would actually be possible.

going by that idiot smiling on thier front page picture, im pretty sure they knew who Bertie Wooster was when they chose that name. Ive heard that in Britian, Berite is like, the symbol of the rich upperclass, so i think they mean to imply that thier clothes make you look as good as if you where a rich aristocrat who can afford to be personally dressed by a valet.
