The Service

The Service, a space to spotlight the community of Savile Row, bespoke tailoring and the history and heritage of craftsmanship along the prestigious street. Showcasing the journey of a Savile Row suit from raw fibre to finished garment, the exhibition will allow visitors a behind the scenes insight into the components which make up the craft. Machine and hand embroidery demonstrations will be on show from Hawthorne & Heaney giving guests the opportunity witness the bespoke process in action, while cloth merchants Dugdale Bros will be displaying their extensive vintage textile archives.

Henry Poole

Henry Poole & Co. has been offering the very best in fine British tailoring since 1806. Now join them as they open their doors for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour with Managing Director, Simon Cundey – seventh generation of Henry Poole & Co. Discover first hand their cutting and fitting processes with demonstrations from Under Cutter, Charlie Button, and gain access to their historic archives dating back to 1846, with clients including Edward 7th, Napoleon 3rd and five Prime Ministers including Disraeli and Winston Churchill.

Spanning seven generations on Savile Row, Henry Poole & Co has come to define traditional tailoring with a modern approach. Having dressed industrialists Vanderbilt, and JP Morgan, as well as major cultural figures like Brahms Stoker and Sir Henry Irving, Henry Poole has created a classic aesthetic that spans generations by emphasising the traditional making processes that are the hallmark of bespoke tailoring, while embracing innovation – most recently with their use of new materials, such as Gore-Tex, in a daring re-imagination of bespoke tailoring.

H. Huntsman & Co.
