The Canon

Gentlemen, what are the best books on tailoring, dressing, and sartorial style?

Of course, I cant help but think of Louis Armstrong:

"Man, if you gotta ask, you'll never know." (Response when asked to define jazz.)

Well, I'll try.

I would think that Sator's every evolving 'Bibliography for Cutters and Tailors' would be a good starting point.

Beware: what is listed as Savile Row by Rizzoli (! ) and 19th in the list, is The Savile Row Story by Richard Walker, originally published in the UK by Prion in 1988. An excellent work, a history rather than a "style" or "how to dress" book.
