Sartoria

Esistono poche strade al mondo in grado di evocare un senso di tradizione storica paragonabile a quello della Savile Row di Londra. In quanto casa della sartoria britannica, la strada situata nel quartiere Mayfair della capitale è rinomata in tutto il mondo per il suo approccio senza eguali alla sartoria su misura, l'architettura palladiana e le folle di uomini vestiti in modo elegante. I sarti iniziarono a popolare Savile Row e alcune delle strade adiacenti nel tardo 18° secolo, con Henry Poole che fu accreditato come il primo ad aprire ufficialmente un negozio sulla via quando ampliò l'attività sartoriale di suo padre, che esiste ancora oggi. Il termine stesso "su misura" implica che un capo di abbigliamento debba essere "misurato" sui singoli clienti, tra cui figurarono, nel corso della storia, l'attuale Principe di Galles, Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson e Napoleone III. In questa carrellata di profili, presentiamo le stelle di Savile Row: i sarti, i tagliatori e i creatori che stanno dietro agli abiti su misura, una componente importante e intramontabile del mercato mondiale dell'abbigliamento da uomo.

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.
