The Saville Row Tour
“A gentleman gets his suit made on Savile Row, and he goes to Jermyn Street for everything else.” That was the long-held belief among the English upper classes, and it’s not a bad rule to live by now, if classic, handmade styles are what you’re after. Savile Row tailors learned centuries ago how to fit the body perfectly, working with its natural proportions, and Jermyn Street shirtmakers continue to transform the silkiest cottons into precisely what their customers desire, down to the smallest details.
You will hear the story of how all this craftmanship -- shoemakers, tobacconists and perfumers included – centred itself in St. James’s and a limited portion of Mayfair. You will visit a variety of tailoring houses, each with a different suit style, and we often manage a chat with cutter or fabric expert and get to handle archival pieces. You will contemplate up close the finest shirts, shoes, ties, hats, fragrances, dressing gowns and smoking jackets that money can buy.
We promise to leave you with your head will be full of rich sights and textures, as well as a deeper appreciation of the timelessness of the best in masculine luxury.
