Administrative history
Savile Row tailor Stovel & Mason was incorporated in 1927, but was in existence before that date (they advertised as a military tailor in 1914). It is unclear exactly when the company dissolved but in 2005 its premises at 32 Old Burlington Street were taken over by Anderson & Sheppard.
