The Savile Row Suit By Patrick Grant
Savile Row has long been the home of fine tailoring. For over 200 years rockstars, royals and celebrity have flocked to this small street to have their clothes cut and sewn bespoke to them. So imagine our delight here at Story Magazine that a new book “The Savile Row Suit: The Art of Hand Tailoring on Savile Row(Hardback)” by Patrick Grant of Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons describes the long-standing traditions of the craftsmanship of bespoke tailoring on this street. The book looks at everything from the cloth houses to the trimming merchants behind the Savile Row businesses and we could not be more excited.
The book sees Grant tell what is a captivating story; the painstaking processes of the Savile Row tailoring processes and all it takes to create a bespoke garment. This book marks the first time that a book details the complete tailoring methods of several of Savile Row’s finest tailoring methods. It includes a step by step manual on how to hand-make a pair of trousers, waistcoat and coat in the Savile Row style and a shirt in the style of one of Jermyn Street’s finest shirt makers.
This book is an essential must-have for every home library. Published by Gestalten, The Savile Row Suit: The Art of Hand Tailoring on Savile Row by Patrick Grant (Hardback) is available now for £40 here.
