Take a trip inside the world of high-end suiting with a co-owner of a Savile Row tailoring house.
London's Savile Row has been synonymous with world-class tailoring for over two centuries. In The Savile Row Suit, Patrick Grant, co-owner of Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons, takes readers on a trip into this world of bespoke suiting. A step-by-step guide to how these sewing tailors create their renowned garments, it also includes anecdotes from Grant's personal experiences, a look at Jermyn Street's fine shirt makers, and descriptions of the ecosystem that allows them all to flourish, from the British weavers and cloth houses to the trimmings merchants. A fascinating, well-illustrated read for the style-conscious.
