A Royal Warrant Holder, Dege & Skinner is also famed for its military uniforms (its work can be seen modelled by Princes William and Harry in a painting currently hanging in the National Portrait Gallery) and is one of the few traditional tailors with a history creating bespoke sporting and business clothes for women. If you’re after the quintessential Savile Row experience, you can’t go far wrong with Dege & Skinner.
One of the true Savile Row originals, Dege & Skinner was founded in 1865 and is still family owned, currently helmed by managing director William Skinner – who also happens to be Chairman of the Savile Row Bespoke Association. Hands do not come safer than these.
With an attention to detail that has seen it through over 200 years of tailoring, Henry Poole takes pride in the fact that each and every piece of its clothing is made individually by tailors on its Savile Row premises. Its crest reads ‘By Special Appointment to the Late Emperor Napoleon III’ – so you know they’ve got a serious seal of approval. here
Words: The Gentleman
From the master tailors of Savile Row, to the glossy windows of Jermyn Street, London has long been considered the ultimate destination for gentleman’s bespoke shirting and suits. Put simply, we do made-to-measure tailoring better than anywhere else in the world (the Japanese word for suit is “sabiro” — say it out loud).
I am really particular about the way clothes fit and went back seven times for re-fittings. The staff didn’t roll their eyes or demand more money, and I got exactly the suit I wanted. more
You’ll be taken into a back room where you can spend some time browsing hundreds of fabrics, and then get something made exactly to your measurements. [links]
There are places all over the world that are hubs for cheap, high quality tailoring.
Another part of the world that budget travelers should consider visiting is Eastern Europe.

London Tailor #1 – Anderson & Sheppard
Since 1906, Anderson & Sheppard has upheld the traditions of Savile Row to create stunning bespoke suits for its clients. Fluidity of movement and a natural body line are the key features of the firm’s style, an aesthetic that has has attracted A-list clients from Chaplin and Astaire to Liam Neeson and Bryan Ferry. “In my opinion,” Tom Ford told Le Figaro, “Anderson & Sheppard is the best tailor in the world.” Now that’s a recommendation that just can’t be ignored.
London Tailor #3 – Cad & the Dandy
Cad & the Dandy is committed to making bespoke tailoring accessible to all, by offering high style that doesn’t come at a high price since 2008. All suits are hand made with a modern British cut and British cloth from shops in The City, Savile Row, and Canary Wharf. Three grades of suit are available – machine stitched, half hand-stitched, and fully hand-stitched – to suit the needs of a diverse clientele that includes eccentric former boxing champ Chris Eubank.
A bespoke suit speaks volumes about a man. What better place to obtain such an item than in the heart of London. London tailoring has long been revered for it’s cut, quality, and the stature it gives gentlemen. We have scouted the very best tailors in the land of Kings and Queens. Enjoy. here
London Tailor #2 – Bernard Weatherill
Bernard Weatherill Ltd. began as a family business in 1910 in Sunninghill. Two years later it was established on Savile Row, and in 1920 it was awarded a Royal Warrant by His Majesty King George V as a riding clothes outfitter and livery tailors. The firm currently holds the same Royal Warrant for Her Majesty the Queen, and in July 2010 a new flagship store was opened on Savile Row offering both ready-to-wear clothing and bespoke pieces for men and women.
