The Savile Row Suite

Savile Row is the home of hand tailoring. This short street is home to many of the world's best tailoring shops, a street where royals, rock stars and giants of business and politics have come to have their clothes cut, sewn and fitted for more than 200 years.

Patrick Grant, co-owner of Norton & Sons, Savile Row tailors, describes the long traditions of craftsmanship maintained in the workrooms of this quiet corner of London's Mayfair - a fascinating and unique world full of stories. He celebrates the extraordinary ecosystem, from British weavers and fabric houses to trimmers, that allows Savile Row to flourish.

"In the coffee-table book 'The Savile Row Suite,' Grant highlights the fascinating story of Savile Row, the painstaking processes involved in creating a custom-made garment and the story of his personal experiences on this most famous street." - MOKUMO.

Describing for the first time the complete tailoring methods of some of Savile Row's finest seamstresses, this book provides a detailed step-by-step guide to making by hand a pair of Savile Row-style pants, vest and jacket and a shirt in the style of one of Jermyn Street's finest shirt makers. This richly illustrated book provides insight into a very discreet and sophisticated world of craftsmanship.
