Footnote:
Tommy Nutter (1943-1992) opened his first Savile Row shop in 1969 and made his name by combining traditional tailoring with innovative and bold designs. His many celebrity clients included Mick Jagger and Elton John and he made the suits that John, Paul and Ringo wore on the cover of the 'Abbey Road' album. Nutter created the wardrobe for Jack Nicholson in the 'Batman' film directed by Tim Burton, which was filmed at Pinewood Studios, October 1988-January 1989.
