Fabulous Book

In depth history of British fashion, but even more interesting are the detailed accounts of British culture from the 17th century on. Everything from trade unions to carriages to living conditions is brought to life along with the politics and dynamics of Savile Row itself. The fine coat, trousers and waistcoat are stripped away, exposing the reality of England's tailoring trade.
