From the shop book.
Three notes from the visitor book at the front of house, kept by Margaret since 1996.
A first suit in 1998. A funeral suit in 2014. A father-of-the-bride two-piece in 2022. Edmund has cut my entire adult wardrobe, and I'd be lost without him.
The soft Vestire roll on the shoulder is unmistakable, and not at all what I expected from a Savile Court house. Quietly the best fit I have ever worn.
They drafted my pattern across two visits, made me three suits over a decade, and never raised their prices to me when they took on younger clients. A house of honour.
