Making the cut

Bespoke tailoring has been synonymous with 'Savile Row' for more than 150 years. Its venerable institutions are responsible for producing the world's most exquisite suits for elite clients, who include celebrated entertainers, athletes, businessmen, politicians, and royals. Now, as the Row moves firmly into the twenty- first century, its tailors are embracing unusual fabrics, new colors, and modern tastes to update its long- held traditions and reach an ever broader client base.

Master cutter Richard Anderson has worked on 'Savile Row' for more than thirty-five years. In 'Making the Cut', he combines memoir with tailoring know- how, showcasing twenty- five classic menswear designs that have been creatively adapted in new and unusual ways for the modern gentleman.
