What You Need to Know about Bespoke Tailoring

Just like women’s fashion has haute couture, men have bespoke tailoring. The latter goes back as far as the 17th century, and it means “to give an order for it to be made.” In other words, it gives you a full control over creation of a new garment. The process involves a customized tailoring where your height, weight and other measurements of your body all contribute to creating your special order.

Bespoke Tailoring vs. Made-to-Measure

Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring are to terms that may seem the same, but essentially, they mean different things. Here’s a few distinctions:

  • Made-to-measure clothing is largely made by a machine with restrictions in shape and fit. Bespoke Tailoring is an entirely handmade garment created to suit your specific measurements.
  • In case of a made-to-measure order,  a salesman or a fitter takes the basic measures in relation to a stock size i.e. 39” regular sleeves plus 1/2 inch. In bespoke tailoring, a cutter makes sure all the frames and contours of one’s body reflect in a garment.
  • Bespoke tailoring offers individual paper patterns that are drafted for each client.
  • There is no restriction on style in bespoke tailoring. Details of made-to-measure clothing are limited to tailor’s availability.
  • It takes 4 to 6 days for a made-to-measure order to be completed, whereas bespoke tailoring garments need 4 to 6 weeks.

Bespoke tailoring lies at the core of the D&B Tailors tradition. With over 50 years of experience, our Master Designer Gabrielle D’Annunzio offers a qualified advice and guarantees the best picks over a large selection of fabrics, stylistic details and fit specifications.

5 Reasons to Invest in Custom Made Shirts from D&B Tailors

custom made shirts

A nice shirt is a quintessential piece of every man’s wardrobe. It’s versatile; you can either dress it up or down, or take it from day to night. However, if your shirt is not fitted right, it doesn’t matter how much you tried to look put together. The result will be far from what you expected. To make sure you get the most flattering look for your body type and complexion, read these 5 Reasons why you might need custom made shirts and a little help from a local tailor.

 

5 Reasons to Invest in Custom Made Shirts:

  1. It’s all about the right fit – What’s the point in spending more money on a quality shirt if it still doesn’t look right? Let’s face it, everybody is built different and to find a true match might be rather hard. However, an experienced tailor will customize your shirt to your body and needs, and will make sure you’re getting the most of the money you originally spent on that shirt.
  2. It makes you look put together – You don’t want to take off your suit and look sloppy, do you? You might think you can hide that slouchy shirt under your jacket, but who are you kidding… Unless you plan on never taking your suit off, we suggest to make sure you always look put together from down up and inside out!
  3. It will slim you down – You might be in perfect shape yet still look bigger than you are, if your shirt has too much wobble at the sides. However, a well-fitted shirt can work miracles!
  4. It looks and feels better under a jacket – Without that unnecessary material under your suit, you gain not only comfort, but a flattering look as well!
  5. It’s like getting a brand new shirt! – Everybody has those few shirts they use only in emergency situations. Why? Because there will always be a newer one that either feels or fits a bit better. Nevertheless, you don’t need to buy new clothes to feel brand new again! Instead, take your older, forgotten or neglected shirts to your local tailor and he/she will surely bring them back to life!
