Savile Row

Savile Row tailoring is one of Britain's most enduring traditions and treasured exports. While the quality of mass-produced, off-the-peg suits has improved while retaining a competitive price-point, this gentleman's club of enduring tradition, unsurpassed technique and style lives on.

A Savile Row suit is a potent symbol of authority and the global uniform of politics, business and society. Embedded in its fibres is a history of respectability dating back to suits of armour worn in battle. Each tailoring house was originally associated with a distinct kind of military uniform, such as naval wear from Gieves and Hawkes.

The air of respectability, quality and style that a suit gives its owner has helped seal its enduring appeal. The time-honoured tradition contained within a road just a few hundred yards long has acted as the epicentre for men’s fashion for over 200 years and remains a dominant force through its continued innovation.
