Savile
Bespoke suit street
Savile is a British surname, most notably associated with Savile Row, the London street famous for bespoke tailoring since the 19th century.
A Savile Row suit implies the highest standard of custom menswear.
The name also evokes Jimmy Savile, the BBC presenter whose posthumous exposure as a prolific sex offender became synonymous with institutional failure to protect children.
