Summary:Bespoke tailoring has been synonymous with 'Savile Row' for more than 150 years. Its venerable institutions are responsible for producing the world's most exquisite suits for elite clients, who include celebrated entertainers, athletes, businessmen, politicians and royals.

In 'Making the Cut,' he combines memoir with tailoring know-how, showcasing twenty-five classic menswear designs that have been creatively adapted in new and unusual ways for the modern gentleman.
