The Savile Row Suit – The Art of Bespoke Tailoring
Discover the secrets behind the ultimate Savile Row bespoke suit.
A classic bespoke suit can perhaps be made faster or cheaper, but never better than by the master tailors of Savile Row. In The Savile Row Suit, Patrick Grant, co-owner of Norton & Sons, reveals the age-old traditions and craftsmanship of this world-renowned London street.
Savile Row: The epicentre of bespoke tailoring
For over 200 years, Savile Row has been the destination for royals, rock stars, and influential figures from the business and political worlds. Here, garments are hand-cut, sewn, and perfectly tailored. Grant takes you through the unique history and the rich ecosystem of British weavers, fabric houses, and haberdashers who together make Savile Row's success possible.
A detailed guide to craftsmanship
For the first time, the complete tailoring methods of some of Savile Row's finest tailors are shared in detail. This coffee table book offers a step-by-step guide to handcrafting trousers, a waistcoat, a jacket, and a shirt in the classic Savile Row style. Richly illustrated, this book provides a fascinating insight into an exclusive world of high-quality craftsmanship.
