DescriptionA list of Tailors in and around Saville Row in London. Savile Row is a shopping street in Mayfair, central London, famous for its traditional men's bespoke tailoring. The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to be spoken for by individual customers.[1] The short street is termed the "golden mile of tailoring",[2] where customers include Prince Charles and Jude Law,[1] and have included Winston Churchill, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Lord Nelson, and Napoleon III.[3] Ian Fleming bought his suits on Savile Row, and dressed his character James Bond in a bespoke suit, and that trend continues with the current Bond actor, Daniel Craig, buying his suits here. Savile Row runs parallel to Regent Street between Conduit Street at the northern end and Vigo Street at the southern. Linking roads include Burlington Place, Clifford Street and Burlington Gardens. |
