At one time the sartorial arbiter for gentlemen, it lost the way after WWII. Lacking a stylish frontman like Edward VIII (the Duke of Windsor), the influence ceased. It has always been the ultimate in British bespoke tradition. You bespeak! it is bespoken! and you walk out of a Savile Row shop in all your bespoke glory down to your dark-brown lace-up semibrogue with the perforated cap toe. Word.

According to http://www.pooles-of-savile-row.co.uk/html/history_of_savile_row.html, Henry Poole and Co. began the tradition of British tailoring back in 1806. The section of quiet lanes known as "Savile Row" contains Savile Row itself, Old Burlington Street, and Cork Street. It separates the shopping districts of Regent Street and Bond Street.

Tailors to be found within Savile Row include Poole's, Steed Bespoke Tailors, Tobias Tailors, Maurice Sedwell, Manning and Manning, and Kilgour French Stanbury.
