Creators of unique bespoke suits for exceptional men and women, the master tailors of Savile Row have dressed the famous and infamous from all over the world, satisfying demand for the Row’s touch of elegance and eccentricity. Icons of Savile Row’s past include: Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Windsor, Sir Winston Churchill, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, and John Lennon. Costumers today demonstrate the Row’s spectacular diversity: the Princes William and Harry, Mick Jagger, David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Pete Doherty, to name a few.The book, written by James Sherwood is a portrait of modern Savile Row, and contains detailed information on London’s premier tailors, including images of Savile Row past and present. It presents both the style and story of a street that continues to inspire fashion: Ralph Lauren, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford have all walked the Row while Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen were trained there.

Directory of London tailors,

This review is from: The London Cut: Savile Row Bespoke Tailoring (Paperback)
This is a great book detailing the history and stories behind some of the more prominent tailors in London. The author covers the older brands like Gieves & Hawkes, Huntsman, etc. as well as the new names like Boateng. Do not buy this book if you want to learn how to dress properly or want to know more about tailoring. If you want to know about the tailors in London, each of them are covered in about 3-4 pages. It's more like a directory of famous London tailors I guess.

This review is from: The London Cut: Savile Row Bespoke Tailoring (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of both classic Men's Style and Modern Men's Style, and this detailed listing of Savile Row's current addressee's. Not so good on the pictures (which would have added something to the book), but the text is enjoyable and interesting.

A mediocre review a London menswear. It reads more like a collection of annual reports than a fashion statement.
