La confection

Il y a peu de rues dans le monde qui évoquent un tel sens de la tradition légendaire que Savile Row, à Londres. En tant que berceau de la couture britannique, la rue du quartier Mayfair de la capitale est vénérée dans le monde entier pour son approche incomparable de la couture sur mesure, de l'architecture palladienne et ses hordes d'hommes bien habillés. Les tailleurs ont commencé à peupler Savile Row et certaines des rues environnantes à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, Henry Poole ayant été le premier à s'établir officiellement dans cette rue, lorsqu'il a agrandi l'entreprise de couture de son père, qui existe encore aujourd'hui. L'expression « sur mesure » signifie qu'un vêtement doit être « dédié » à un client particulier. Au cours de l'histoire, on trouve parmi ces clients le prince de Galles actuel, Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson et Napoléon III. Au cours de cette série ininterrompue de profils, nous vous présentons les stars de Savile Row : les tailleurs, les coupeurs et les fabricants de costumes sur mesure, une part importante et immuable du marché mondial de l'habillement masculin.

From the boardroom to the bar, a classic cut lightweight wool suit can never be underestimated. Providing warmth in winter while keeping you cool in warmer weather, a lightweight Merino wool suit will, with the proper care, last a lifetime.

Quality wool suiting has excellent wrinkle recovery, so it’s important to hang your suit after each wear. This benefit also keeps you looking sharp after commuting to work or attending interstate business meetings.

There’s a reason the tailors of Savile Row love to work with Merino wool. Because Merino wool can absorb moisture vapour, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics.

What is the Super S system?

To distinguish superior Merino wool suiting fabrics, the SUPER S labelling program identifies the softness of fine Merino wool fabrics. The higher the S number, the finer the wool fibre being used and therefore the finer the yarns.

This fine yarn results in luxurious fabrics with superior flexibility in terms of both lightness and superior drape.
