Top 100 Best High-End Tailors | 60 Savile Row Tailors
"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art." - Oscar Wilde.
"If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor." - Albert Einstein.
"Being perfectly well-dressed gives one a tranquillity that no religion can bestow." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this." - Mark Twain.
TRADITIONAL TAILORING is called bespoke tailoring in the United Kingdom, where the heart of the trade is in London's Savile Row, and custom tailoring in the United States and Hong Kong. This is unlike made-to-measure which uses pre existing patterns. A bespoke garment or suit is completely original and unique to each customer.
BESPOKE is a term employed in a variety of applications to mean an item custom-made to the buyer's specification. While applied to many items now, from computer software to luxury car appointments, the term historically was only applied to tailored clothing, shirts and other parts of men's apparel involving measurement and fitting. The distinguishing points of bespoke tailoring are the buyer's total control over the fabric used, the features and fit, and the way the garment should be made. More generally, bespoke describes a high degree of customisation, and involvement of the end-user, in the production of the good.
MADE-TO-MEASURE typically refers to clothing that is sewn from a standard-sized base pattern. A tailored suit is a common example of a made-to-measure garment. The fit of a made-to-measure garment is expected to be superior to that of a ready-to-wear garment, because ready-to-wear garments are constructed to fit the manufacturer's definition of an average customer, while made-to-measure garments are constructed to fit each customer individually. However, made-to-measure items are seen by many to involve less workmanship than bespoke or "custom made" garments, as made-to-measure garments always involve some form of standardization in the patterning and manufacturing processes, whereas a bespoke garment is made entirely from scratch based on a customer's specifications. Typically, a made-to-measure garment will be more expensive than ready-to-wear garment but cheaper than a bespoke one.
READY-TO-WEAR, or prêt-à-porter, is the term for factory-made clothing, sold in finished condition, in standardized sizes, as distinct from made-to-measure or bespoke clothing tailored to a particular person's frame. Ready-to-wear has rather different connotations in the spheres of fashion and classic clothing. In the fashion industry, designers produce ready-to-wear clothing intended to be worn without significant alteration, because clothing made to standard sizes fits most people. They use standard patterns, factory equipment, and faster construction techniques to keep costs low, compared to a custom-sewn version of the same item. Some fashion houses and fashion designers produce mass-produced and industrially manufactured ready-to-wear lines, while others offer garments that, while not unique, are produced in limited numbers.

London | Savile Row Tailors (30+)
SAVILE ROW is a shopping street in Mayfair, central London, famous for its traditional men's bespoke tailoring. The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by individual customers. The short street is termed the "golden mile of tailoring", where customers have included Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson and Napoleon III. Savile Row runs parallel to Regent Street between Conduit Street at the northern end and Vigo Street at the southern. Linking roads include Burlington Place, Clifford Street and Burlington Gardens. Savile Row was built between 1731 and 1735 as part of the development of the Burlington Estate, and is named after Lady Dorothy Savile, wife of the 3rd Earl of Burlington. It originally ran from Burlington Gardens (then Vigo Lane) to Boyle Street, with houses only on the east side, but in 1937–8 it extended to Conduit Street, and in the 19th century houses were built on the west side.
During the 19th century, the gentry became concerned with neat dress, and Beau Brummell epitomised the well-dressed man. He patronised the tailors congregated on the Burlington Estate, notably around Cork Street, and by 1803 some were occupying premises in Savile Row. None of those original tailors survive today. In 1846, Henry Poole is credited as being the 'Founder of Savile Row' after opening a second entrance to his late father's tailoring premises at No. 32 Savile Row; however, there were tailors on the Row long before Poole's. In 1969, Nutters of Savile Row modernised the style and approach of the traditional tailors; a modernisation which continued in the 1990s with the arrival of designers like Richard James, Ozwald Boateng and Timothy Everest.

- English Cut London - established in 2001 by Savile Row tailor Thomas Mahon. "British Bespoke Tailoring Is Our Heritage." Bespoke tailoring is the origin of all modern suiting. A term derived before the mass production of garments, bespoke is a contraction ‘been spoken for’, signifying that a garment was entirely made to the client’s individual specifications. Our Bespoke experience begins with your personal Cutter who advises you on cloth selection and garment styling. Upon taking your measurements and final details, your Cutter will draft and cut your personal suiting pattern. Thereafter, a single specialised tailor completes your coat, trousers, and waistcoat. During this construction process your Cutter will oversee a series of personal fittings to ensure an exact fit. Your garment is then trimmed, finished and delivered to you for years of enjoyment. 58 Chiltern Street.
