Graeme Fidler, head of menswear design, and Michael Herz, head of womenswear design, have stepped down.
Harold Tillman, chairman and majority owner of 125-year-old Jaeger, and Jaeger Chief Executive Belinda Earl acquired the British company last September for an undisclosed sum.
Tillman acquired Jaeger in 2003 and turned it into a profitable business by extending the brand in accessories and homewares and he plans a similar strategy for Aquascutum.
Aquascutum has dressed British royalty, politicians, and Hollywood stars over its 158-year history.
