Couple of programmes on the (freeview) box tonight that look interesting:
Ready to Wear - BBC 4. 8.30pm - 9.00pm
A look at social change over the last 50 years as reflected by the clothes people wear. This episode looks at how the suit has changed from the sixties to the eighties.
Savile Row (1/3) - BBC 4. 9.00pm - 10.00pm
Filmed over a year, a look the tailoring houses of Savile Row, synonymous with bespoke tailoring for two centuries. The tailors view a jeanswear company's arrival with trepidation
Anyone interested in 007 always likes his style -and thanks to great tailoring he always has it. so anyone interested in such bespoke tailoring should watch these interesting programmes. You never know 007 may even get a mention!

Also the trepidation of the arrival of Abercrombie & Fitch to the area was amusing to watch -although I could see how the arrival of such a large retailer would make them feel invaded somewhat. Next weeks episode will also no doubt be interesting. Did anyone else catch this programme?

BBC wont let you watch if you are outside the UK.:(
Sorry to hear that -I didn't realise it was limited like that -I thought that the BBC website would make it open to everyone.
Anyone else watch this show?

It is only a little over 32 minutes so I am not sure if it is the whole show. If I find a link to part 2 I will post it.
Each episode is an hour long -so that will only be the first half.
Great find though.
Still this series has been very good -and before it there has also been a half hour episode series of shows called Ready To Wear that has looked at fashion since the fifties -not nearly as good -but still interesting nonetheless.
