Can you give an example of what is meant by adding more sections? I've added some smaller sections to see if this is what is needed... Richard Nowell ( talk) 13:10, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
I removed a personal commentary about the GQ piece from the lead. However, I wonder if those two journalist opinions should be moved to a new reception section rather than featuring so prominently in the lead? Fences& Windows 19:48, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

There were many redundant links which I've removed or replaced. This has led to some sections being unreferenced. Some require re-writing e.g. Huntsman which is years out-of-date. Re. Huntsman - would it not be better to have a more general history of Huntsman? Effectively the part here only talks about the time since it was bought by Lagrange, and this would be better in the separate Huntsman section, with a more general overview of the whole of the company's history here?
Have also removed G&H and Kilgour from Future section as unfortunately they don't seem to have an obvious one at this time. Richard Nowell ( talk) 08:25, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Many used 9-10 Savile Row, I suspect mainly for the prestige of a Row address, and will probably continue at the new Holland and Sherry address; some have (had) separate entries (I amalgamated Alexandra Wood with 31 Savile Row), but others have a separate entry (Henry Herbert Tailors) - my feeling is that they should all go under a single address but others might have different ideas. 2A02:C7F:DD04:9600:F118:CC96:AA68:C34B ( talk) 20:52, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
We are seeing more Saville Row trained tailors and house managers who practice the Saville Row method emigrating from the London (for a variety of reasons) to other major cities and are opening high end bespoke tailor shops offering similar quality services. I'd like to add a paragraph with links to sources to that effect in the section about the "Future" section. Would that be acceptable? Philipophish ( talk) 23:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
I have read the part you have added; as I noted above, the problem is what is advertising and what actually represents Savile Row'? Of the two examples you have given, Richard James only offers bespoke in London, not New York, and I'm pretty sure that Reeves was a salesman here (neither a tailor nor a cutter). I don't say that the work that comes out under his name might not be bespoke (his advert certainly suggests it is), but he has no direct experience of cutting or tailoring to lead me to believe that what he produces can be called 'Savile Row'. A much better example would be Leonard Logsdail or Bernard Weatherill. Also Huntsman now has a full-time presence in New York with a cutter on site. I have also altered the following paragraph as the quote you give is not from (then) Prince Charles, but from Thomas Mahon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:D4D2:5B00:1415:EFE2:B433:69D8 ( talk) 22:05, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Am trying to unblock the website for Manning and Manning from the spam blacklist site: /info/en/?search=MediaWiki_talk:Spam-blacklist#Manning_and_Manning I have no idea when it was added or for what reasons. Richard Nowell ( talk) 12:40, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
