Savile Row

This is where you go to get a bespoke Suit, Shirt, or formal wear.Stop at Henry Poole and Co. This historic Saville Row Tailor has had a long association with the Churchill family. They made suits for Winston's father Randolph, and many for Winston throughout his life. (They produced the famous Pinstripe Suit in the Tommy Gun photo of Churchill.) Apparently Winston Churchill still owes the company some money, and the Tailors would always find Cigar Stubs in the pockets when suits came in for alterations.Recently Henry Poole and Co were called upon to make Gary Oldman's suits for the movie The Darkest Hour.

Churchill trusted only one company to make these to his specifications, his shirt maker Turnbull & Asser.This company was also the first company Prince Charles gave a Royal Warrant to.
