I like this comment though...

If the global economy continues to nosedive, esp. in America, look for further consolidation on Savile Row. Might be difficult for the remaining tailors to contain on one business card the entire name of their firm Anderson, Sheppard, Anderson, Gieves, Hawkes, Poole, Huntsman, Dege, Skinner, Meyer, Mortimer, Davies, Norton, Welsh, James, James and Boeteng Ltd.
