Product Description
Product Description
Creators of unique bespoke suits for exceptional men and women, the master tailors of Savile Row have dressed the famous and infamous from all over the world, satisfying demand for the Row’s touch of elegance and eccentricity. Icons of Savile Row’s past include: Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Windsor, Sir Winston Churchill, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, and John Lennon. Costumers today demonstrate the Row’s spectacular diversity: the Princes William and Harry, Mick Jagger, David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Pete Doherty, to name a few.The book, written by James Sherwood is a portrait of modern Savile Row, and contains detailed information on London’s premier tailors, including images of Savile Row past and present. It presents both the style and story of a street that continues to inspire fashion: Ralph Lauren, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford have all walked the Row while Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen were trained there.

To some up this book in short it is "perfect". It contains everything that you need to know about about the past, present and future of one of the most prestigious street's on earth.
James Sherwood has written an absolute masterpiece and I can not emphasize enough what a bargain this product is. "It is a real gem."
If you are pondering whether to buy this book do not, just buy it.
Believe me you will not regret the decision to invest.
"Enjoy!"

A look into the background of the proper tailors on and off Savile Row. I did notice a few mistakes in the editing, but these are all cleared up later on in the book. I learnt quite a lot from this book, and find James Sherwood to be very knowledgeable on the subject of bespoke London tailors. I'm pleased that he covered Kilgour, Ravi Tailor and Edward Sexton, as well as a number of tailors not usually talked about in the context of Savile Row.

Purchased on an underlying belief that the title would lead me further into afield which for so many years i have enjoyed but also neglected in discovering how much has been put into a look that i have pursued for many years. Factual,entertaining,a trip of discovery and indulgence.
