During the 19th century, Beau Brummell, who epitomised the well-dressed man, patronised the tailors congregated on the Burlington Estate, notably around Cork Street, and by 1803 some were occupying premises in Savile Row. In 1846, Henry Poole, credited as being the "Founder of Savile Row", opened an entrance to his tailoring premises into No. 32 Savile Row. The term "bespoke" is understood to have originated in Savile Row when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by individual customers. The short street has been termed the "golden mile of tailoring", where customers include Prince Charles and Jude Law, and have included Winston Churchill, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Lord Nelson, and Napoleon III. In 1969, Nutters of Savile Row modernised the style and approach of the traditional tailors; a modernisation which continued in the 1990s with the arrival of designers like Richard James, Ozwald Boateng and Timothy Everest. With increasing rents, and criticisms from Giorgio Armani of falling behind the times, the number of tailors on Savile Row declined to just 19 in 2006. Beginning 2008, Savile Row has been enjoying a remarkable resurgence, thanks to the arrival of young and innovative tailors like Cad and the Dandy which sought re-invigoration by means of modern technology - the internet.
