Chapter 268 A man has to (dei third tone) pretend...

The next day, it was cloudy and rainy, and the weather turned cooler.

"It's time to add some clothes, David, you are a real British guy, where should you go to buy clothes?" Wu Qian said while eating breakfast, the huge manor has not yet arranged for servants, and David bought breakfast more than ten kilometers back and forth back...

"Boss, if you want to buy branded clothes, you can go to Oxford Street. There are all kinds of brands there, and they are very complete. Otherwise, you can directly contact your favorite brand and ask them to bring samples to the manor for you to buy."

"Oxford Street? A commercial street opened by Oxford University?" Wu Qian was well-known for Oxford University's reputation, but did he know that Oxford University also operated a pedestrian street?
"No, not... BOSS, Oxford Street is an important shopping street in Westminster, West London. Oxford Street is 3 kilometers long. There are more than 300 large shopping malls on both sides of the street. It is definitely the most luxurious shopping paradise.

The buildings on both sides of Oxford Street are antique, and the shops are all side by side, forming a unique scenery. On the bustling Oxford Street, there are often jugglers and entertainers. Shopping will not be too boring at the same time. A must-see for visitors to London. "

When Wu Qian heard that there were 300 shopping malls, his head got dizzy, he shook his head, and said, "I think I can find an image consultant to help me buy it, Kux, please contact me, I won't go shopping anymore, I'm not interested in shopping .By the way, David, I heard that British tailoring is very famous, isn't it?"

Kux inquired the number in response. The service of image consultant is very common. There are too many people who need this type of service, and the corresponding industry has naturally been derived. He easily contacted an image designer. This kind of occupation is not only for Customers design clothing and collocations, and also provide purchasing services.

Hearing Wu Qian's question, David said: "Boss, if you want to customize clothing, then go to 'Saville Row'. It is no exaggeration to say that Savile Row is the best place in the world to customize men's clothing."

Savile Row also has a name in the world, called "Tailor Street", and there is a Chinese name called "Gao Fu Shuai Street", which I don't know whether it is soil or tide...

Located in Mayfair, London, Savile Row has a history of more than 200 years and is synonymous with top bespoke craftsmanship in the UK.

Tailors on Savile Row have always only made the best suits. With ancient and mysterious tailoring techniques, high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and entertainers all over the world have a set of suits handmade by Savile’s top tailors. symbol.

After all, the suit is a thing created by the West. The modern suit originated in the United Kingdom and evolved from the combination of the characteristics of the aristocratic and military uniforms at that time.The British are very particular about clothing and accessories, and the tradition of custom-made handmade suits and shoes has continued to this day.

I don't know where the image designer contacted by Kukes is working, and I arrived at the manor in half an hour. I learned Wu Qian's demand for the quality of clothing brands, and after measuring the shoulder width, bust, waist and other dimensions, I set off Went shopping for Wu Qian.

At 10:[-] in the morning, Wu Qian and his group came to Savile Row to order several suits.

An exquisite and decent suit means more to a man than imagined.A suit can change a man's appearance and enhance his temperament.

Even for those men whose body and appearance belong to the "God-level", there is a big difference between wearing this "battle suit" and not wearing it. If it is a man whose body, height and appearance are not up to the standard, it is a must-have.

Some people say that if you have money to a certain level, you can not care about your image. That statement may have some truth, but whether it is the helm of the royal family of various countries or the top family, when they appear in the public eye, they are definitely dressed in bright clothes.

The fact that Mr. Li in Hong Kong Island is wearing a watch worth thousands of dollars has been talked about, but that is because that watch has a very special meaning to Mr. Li. Every time Mr. Li attends an event, he wears it all over his body It is very particular.

Tailor shops on Savile Row can provide very high-quality door-to-door services, but Wu Qian was very interested in this world-famous "tailor street", so he went there in person.

Today, the appearance of the entire Savile Row is almost the same as it was 200 years ago, except that there are some modern road administration facilities, and the neat old buildings on both sides of the street have a sense of age.

With the development of the times, in order to meet the needs of various consumer classes, the tailors on Savile Row do not only accept custom-made work, which may be unsustainable.

Tailor shops will make ready-made garments for sale according to the public’s style. The price is generally 400-600 pounds. The price may be expensive to the general public, but these suits are still handmade. The ergonomics are great, far away from the supermarket. Big-name clothing produced on the surface assembly line.

Even better, there is a semi-customized service. The customer selects a set of ready-made clothes, which will be measured by a tailor and modified on the basis of the ready-made garments to make it more suitable for the customer's body shape. The semi-customized price is about 700-1000 pounds.

A set of semi-tailored suits is enough for ordinary important occasions, but Wu came here to order a suit to wear when attending the "Clion Celebrity Ball", so naturally he had to choose the best one.

The essence of Savile Row is full order. Ready-to-wear and semi-tailor are just a kind of compromise that tailors show to the market in order to survive, while full order is the essence, and it is also the enduring prosperity of Savile Row for 200 years. fundamental.

In any tailor shop on Savile Row, it will take 4-12 weeks to order a full suit if you don’t rush to work, and you have to go through three fittings and adjustments in the middle. This is still the case when the customer is in London. Out of town, the link of trying on is still essential, and the time will be longer.

Sometimes customers from foreign countries order suits, and the production period is as long as half a year...

Fully customized suits produced by Savile are 95% handcrafted. A two-piece suit starts at about 4000 pounds, and a three-piece suit starts at 5000 pounds. This is a price without using any luxury materials.

All luxury brands are eclipsed in the face of real private customization. In the past, the clothing worn by British nobles could not be the so-called luxury goods. If they wear such clothing, others will laugh and think it is the decline of the family.

There will be various custom-made craftsmen specially handed down in the nobles, and they will only serve one family from generation to generation!With the gradual disappearance of the nobility, this kind of inheritance gradually disappeared, but Savile Row was handed down.

Among the many tailor shops on Savile Row, the century-old shop at No. 1 Savile Row is the most famous, and the British royal family is its "fan".

Whether it was Charles and Diana's wedding of the century in 1981 or William and Kate's fabulous wedding in 2011, the groom wore a custom-made dress from this store.
