Savile

/ˈsæv.əl/ noun

Definition

A reference to a famous street in London (Savile Row) known for luxury tailoring and bespoke suit-making.

Etymology

From the English surname and London street 'Savile Row,' established in the early 1700s as a fashionable address for tailors and clothiers.

Kelly Says

Savile Row tailors measure everything in such meticulous detail that a bespoke suit can take months, but the result is clothing that knows your exact proportions—it's why James Bond always wears Savile Row suits, because custom fit is the opposite of ordinary.
