The dramas and private tales, the suits and their accoutrements, the fabrics and the cuts, the history and future of Savile Row, as never before The skilled tailors of Savile Row in Mayfair, central London, have dressed kings, movie stars, rock legends, billionaires – and even a few regular guys. A Savile Row suit remains an enduring and highly individual symbol of the finest a man can buy. From its origins close to Britain’s main royal palaces, the Row has grown from clothing aristocrats to military men; more recently it has been revivified by the renewed appreciation of personalized, handmade goods, and by a new generation of modern sartorialists seeking ‘heritage luxury’. Told through eight chronological themes, this beautifully illustrated celebration brings together Savile Row’s highlights and low-lifes, the dramas and private tales, the suits and their accoutrements, the fabrics and the cuts, the history and future, as never before. Each chapter charts a stage of the Row’s development and its contribution to men’s fashion and culture. Throughout the book are dispersed 26 profiles of today’s master tailors, providing insight into what makes their work, relationships and clothes so special. The book is finely detailed with reference sections on the anatomy and making of the perfect suit. This once-in-a-lifetime publication, by the archetypal modern gentleman and devoted customer of the Row, weaves a fabric rich with anecdote, personality and sartorial detail.

Stunning...
Having already known that James was the self-styled guardian of all things Savile Row (and pretty much The Chap magazine made flesh) I had no doubt that this project was going to be a production of the very highest quality - and it is very, very good indeed.First off, it's huge. You almost need your own atelier in which to open the damn thing, but no matter - the images are lavish, the histories detailed and the love, care and just sheer exuberant execution of this book are a joy to behold. Indeed, it's a Savile Row suit fashioned in paper. I can't quite accept it's cost as little to purchase as it has - books of this quality would normally command a much higher figure.I won't witter on about the content - any right-thinking fellow will know all aspects of bespoke to be thoroughly covered - and indeed they are (tailors, profiles, hollywood..)With the current renewed focus on the bespoke, hand-made and Britishness in origin, Savile Row should really be at the forefront of the drive for home-grown absolutely top-end manufacturing, if it ever becomes thus, they'll have James Sherwood to thank for it. I await 'The Perfect Gentleman' with anticipation.Highly recommended.

Great book but got it twice under two different names ...
This book is a real beauty, however I bought two books with two different names and actually they are the same book !"Saville Row: The Master Tailors of British Bespoke"

サヴィル・ロウの歴史紹介本
６章に分かれていて、章のタイトルにあったテーラーを紹介しています。（４章のSAVILE ROW IN HOLLYWOODならA&S、HAYWARD、KILGOURといった具合）前半の第３章まで礼装や王侯貴族の服に軍服が多く、スーツ等は少ないです。それ以降はスーツ等がメインで出てきますが、前半に有名店が多いのは残念です。この本はクラシックからアヴァンギャルドまで取り入れるサヴィル・ロウの懐を教えてくれます。あくまでサヴィル・ロウのテーラーが関わってきた歴史を紹介する本であってオーダーの世界を紹介する本とは内容が異なります。

Fehlbindung
Leider hat das Buch einige doppelt eingebundene Seiten ..von 32-34 und 45-47 die Seiten dazwischen fehlen ganz.Eine echte Fehlbindung und somit eigentlich nicht verkäuflich.Der Preis von 49 Euro ist dafür zu hoch. Der Käufer muß informiert werden, dass das Buch fehlerhaft ist.Inhaltlich es der Band eine Bereicherung in meiner Kostümbuchsammlung
