One of my London highlights today was a “Behind the Scenes” tour of Savile Row — the lap of luxury of bespoke clothing. Most notably was visiting @gieveslondon and learning that they provide the uniforms for the Queen’s guards since the early 1800’s. Each of the 37 guardsman are precisely sized for their uniform, which takes about 3 months to make. For each event, the guardsman must come to the shop, change and store uniform at this facility. No uniform can ever be taken home. Also, did you know that the Queen of England owns ALL of the swans 🦢 on the Thames River? Each helmet is made of swan feathers…and the feathers must be found on Queens property and NOT plucked from the swan. How civil! #thequeenandherguards #bespokeclothing #dlnlondon #thelondonsummit #feelinginspired #blfevents Gieves & Hawkes
