Jermyn Street - Shirtmaking

Shirtmaking

Jermyn Street shops traditionally sell shirts and other gentlemen's apparel, such as hats, shoes, shaving brushes, colognes, braces and collar stiffeners.

Many tailors owned or still own the houses along the street and often rented out rooms to people. Number 22, Jermyn Street, for instance was once owned by Italian silk merchant Cesare Salvucci and a military tailor who rented rooms out to people such as the banker Theodore Rothschild.
