english cut in fast company

A nice wee men­tion of English Cut on the Fast Com­pany blog:

So it’s refreshing to learn about English Cut, a blog writ­ten by Tho­mas Mahon, a bes­poke tai­lor on Savile Row in Lon­don. Since early this year, Mahon has been telling tales of his trade, shed­ding light on the work he does, the peo­ple he works with, and the peo­ple who wear his wares.

As I’ve said before, the entire out­put for Savile Row in a sin­gle year is only a cou­ple of thou­sand suits… maybe five thou­sand, ten thou­sand, tops. This isn’t Bur­ger King, the viral doesn’t have to be mas­sive and huge in order to serve its pur­pose. It just has to sim­mer along there, just beneath the sur­face, sprea­ding almost unde­tec­ted.
I think that’s star­ting to happen.

    Or just another well dres­sed cog in the Hugh­train.
    After all those years of pitching enter­prise soft­ware ven­dors as ‘trans­for­ma­tive engi­nes,’ Heath Row finally bites on a story about a tai­lor…
    Go figure!
