'The Gents Dresser reads....'

Forget this being something for the coffee table, this book is to be savoured and every detail poured over. Written by Savile Row figure-head James Sherwood, and featuring a foreword by Mr Tom Ford, this is a complete pictoral history of 'The Golden Mile'. Featuring all of the major tailoring houses on the street, as well as some lesser known names in and around the Mayfair area of London, I literally can't put this down! With accomapanying written texts, the book is brimming with some of the most stunning photo's I've ever seen in a fashion publication- Tailoring through the ages as well as some familiar faces that have worn it best. Anyone with even a fleeting interest, or aspiration, towards tailoring needs this in their life. I know I do.





Needless, but worthy, mention is that Steve McQueen had all his suits for 'The Thomas Crown Affair' made by Douglas Hayward in Mayfair. Just in case you were wondering....
