The definitive story of the tailors, customers, and clothes of Savile Row, the international destination and renowned epicenter of gentlemen’s style The skilled tailors of Savile Row in 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, and more recently it has been revitalized by a renewed appreciation of personalized, handmade goods and by a new generation of modern sartorialists. 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. Each chapter charts a stage of the Row’s development and its contribution to men’s fashion and culture. Throughout the book are dispersed twenty-six 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. 450 illustrations, 300 in color Review: EXCELLENT BOOK - Fabulous Presentation, Coffee Table Style Book Overflowing with fantastic photographs and in-depth Information about the Wonderful, Exquisite World of Savile Row!

It was okay. Not the worst or the best. Recommend finding it somewhere else for cheaper.

Great insight into Savile Row
When talking about tailoring as an art form it must be illustrated. This book does a wonderful job at taking the reader to the row and allows them to experience its past, present and shows incite into the future. If you enjoy the finer things in life and really appreciate the mastery that constructs the perfect suit this book is for you!

I like the history of the tailors and what each brings ...
The epitome of men's tailoring, a bespoke suit from Savile Row is where you want to get to if your into men's suits and proper fashion. I like the history of the tailors and what each brings to the table when discussing their vision on the subject.

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.

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
