London Street Is Famous For Its Tailored Men'S Clothing.

Though Piccadilly street and Regent Street are always full of people, to listen deeply to the fashion pulse of this city, you probably have to take a little bend with me and walk into Savile Row. Men's wear The famous tailor street goes into a 100 year old shop with fine clothes on both sides of the street.

The first impression of old street

In winter, London is precious, sunny and uncertain. Passing through the crowd, leaving the rolling traffic on Piccadilly street behind, when it came to the street, it seemed that it had passed through time, and there was no connection between the urban noise of the two steps.

In front of the street is not a wide street, if it is not aware of the "low-key luxury", I can not help but sigh for this depression. Through these exquisite old houses, I tried to capture the legendary "thousand needle Street" posture. In the view of 100 meters, many shops on both sides of the street have large windows for landing. At first glance, it looks like a beautifully shaped glass box with two rows of yards.

Street is not only a road, but also an industry name. In English, the word "Bespoke" was born in Jie street. This is the world's most recognized "holy land" for men's clothing, including the third emperor, Tsar Alexander S, Duke and Duke of Windsor. Saville Street tailors almost measured the size of every royal family and aristocrat in British and European countries. In the middle of the nineteenth Century, they invented a dome hard hat and a tailless formal dress, which basically established the image of modern men. To this day, British officers will also go to the street to make their uniforms.

Saville street was built in 1731 as part of Burlington's real estate development and was named after the countess Dorothea Saville. At first, Jie street was the officers' arms. It started with Burlington gardens, and only houses on the east side were extended and extended. The western side houses were completed in nineteenth Century. It was also at this time that the gentlemen of London began to think big in their costumes, and they pursued neat and upright. clothes Fit and exquisite cut. People began to patronize tailor shops around Burlington, open shop in different streets with different name tailors. In the past two hundred years, the tailor shops on the street have been switched off. The old shops that are left behind are classic gold signs.

Fashion pilgrimage shop telling stories

There is nothing else in the street. No matter which street shops, there are meticulously cutting or sewing masters and apprentices. They continued to live almost the same life as they did a hundred years ago, such as the light and self disciplined walkers, and the tape and scissors in their hands, as if they had been casting many years of weapons, with them in the fashion holy land. The friends who came together said that in the fashion world, the tailor of Jie street did more than just a job. It needed a very pious spirit rather than a whim.

A handsome black looking old car drove slowly past us. The snowy winter in England was cold and wet, and it fell into the twilight at three or four p.m. Our vision finally settled in a shop. On the shop door is a delicate, pale gold shop name: Davies &Son. Pushing the narrow wooden door in, the time seemed to flow back two hundred years. Here it seems to be a corner of the gentlemen's club, a leather chair with a winged back, and a bill on the high wooden partition, with buttons, neckties and bright colored shirts neatly arranged in the cupboard. The guys in the shop seem to come from the age of the year, with a quiet attentions. He will ask you a lot of questions: when are the suits going to wear, meetings, banquets, weddings or houses; fabrics are woolen, tweed, silk or cashmere; the pattern of the fabrics is fine stripes, lattices, or plain coloured; then please go to the back room to measure the size. Everything is so calm, with the special smell of past times: dignified, dignified, noble, and a hint of arrogance.

During the chat, the clerk said that if you want to stay in the street, you have to do 3 to 5 years of apprenticeship. It will take 10 years to become a senior tailor, which will be longer than getting a doctor's qualification. The difference between a suit made by a skilled craftsman and a tailored suit produced by an assembly line is like the difference between a car and a dual-purpose car. The dashboard and seat of the former will be specially designed according to the height and shape of the driver. Davies &Son, founded in 1803, always sticks to its principles. It says, "our workers in coats do only coats, not trousers or vests. He was trained to coat. The same is true for trousers craftsmen. Those who use the three piece suit include guides, tailor, coat workers, trousers workers, vest workers, and finally ironing workers. They are only trained to be ironing workers. They are experts in their respective fields. " {page_break}

The custom hall makes great achievements.

The tailor will tailor a version according to the shape of the guest, rather than other custom tailors' shop according to the existing version.

Generally speaking, visitors to Jie Street are usually very familiar with stores. When I was wandering around the old shop, I saw several Arabs. They were said to be willing to come to London for a few weeks, waiting for a dress to make and leave. It has been rumoured that Americans who have made clothes in the tailor's visit to the United States will have to wait a year to pick up their goods, so that they can enjoy the time of the palace.

In the first place, the tailor will tailor a version according to the shape of the guest, instead of modifying it according to the existing version, which is called "one person, one edition". In detail, all the garments produced in the street are all handcrafted buttonholes. Buttons are made of horns, or made of other animals. This is a symbol of quality. And not like most finished suits with resin buckles. cloth It is self-evident that stripes or plaid suits are very good for stripe, checker, stripes on the top of the coat pocket and stripes on the top of the cover.

It is said that in the Huntsman, the most expensive tailor shop on the street, the price of a suit of two piece suits will start at 4600, and it will take 10-12 weeks to make the garment.

The three annual tour of the United States France.

When I left the street, I didn't even buy a shirt, but my heart was full of joy. There is no hanging lantern, there is no noisy shopping tour group, just look at the little black street with white background, you will never realize that this street has created the most classic image of the British and Western men.
