Its influence is everywhere, from the way clothes are made to how they look and what they’re worn with.For serious suiting, the well-heeled make the pilgrimage to London’s Savile Row. In footwear, many of men’s staple styles were first designed by the famous Northamptonshire shoe industry.

Craft is often thought of as the backbone of literature, the scientific and mathematical side of the creative process that examines an artist’s techniques.

Instead of becoming more and more obvious as well as understood, it becomes subconscious, supposedly, once you’ve mastered it. But craft…
