Over the centuries, they have crafted garments for royalty, politicians, and celebrities alike. Notable clients include King Edward VII, Winston Churchill, and various Hollywood stars. Davies & Son is renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship and continues to provide bespoke tailoring to this day, maintaining a strong presence on Savile Row. They hold a Royal Warrant, a prestigious recognition awarded by the British Royal Family, signifying their excellence in craftsmanship and service. Styling Tips: This 1939 cutaway suit is a unique opportunity to showcase vintage elegance. Pair the jacket with tailored trousers for a formal event or style it with dark jeans and a crisp shirt for a more casual yet refined look. The pants are perfect with suspenders and a dress shirt, evoking the timeless sophistication of early 20th-century British tailoring. Add polished leather shoes or boots to complete the ensemble and bring history to life with modern flair. Link Closure: When a jacket has two buttons at the waist connected by a thread loop, this is often referred to as a "link closure" or "link button". It is a classic, tailored feature sometimes used in formal or military-inspired garments. Instead of using a traditional buttonhole, the two buttons are fastened together by a small thread loop, creating a clean and seamless look at the front of the jacket. This detail adds a sophisticated, vintage touch to formal wear, often seen in cutaway or morning coats.
