Synopsis
Savile Row has been home to some of the most exclusive tailors shops in the world for more than 200 years, creating one-of-a-kind bespoke suits for a very select clientele - Sir Winston Churchill, the English Royal Family, Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Mick Jagger, David Beckham, Madonna, Brad Pitt, and Pete Docherty, to name but a few. "The London Cut" is a richly illustrated volume that not only tells the story of more than two hundred years of undisputed elegance, but also the contemporary nature of a style that still represents the pinnacle of male haute couture.

Proper Savile Row
A look into the background of the proper tailors on and off Savile Row. I did notice a few mistakes in the editing, but these are all cleared up later on in the book. I learnt quite a lot from this book, and find James Sherwood to be very knowledgeable on the subject of bespoke London tailors. I'm pleased that he covered Kilgour, Ravi Tailor and Edward Sexton, as well as a number of tailors not usually talked about in the context of Savile Row.
