The Reason Why You Should Go Bespoke

Dec. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- In the world of bespoke tailoring, nothing is more significant than the “appropriate fitting”. This is the most needed, time-honoured process of fitting the suit (http://suitfullstop.com/) on the client’s body as it transforms from a mere piece of cloth into a perfectly tailored bespoke suit. It takes 3-7 basted fittings to accomplish this, and the amount of fittings is totally in regard to the ease or difficulty of the client’s particular build and body type. No matter what the client’s body build is, the protocol of bespoke (http://www.suitfullstop.com/), with its numerous basted fittings, is quite simple and must be followed to achieve the desired result -a perfectly tailored suit.


First off all, the client’s measurements are taken and noted. Then the outline of the jacket, vest and pant dimensions are drawn onto a very large sheet of blank paper. Once the components of the suit are diagrammed on the pattern paper and cut individually, the chosen fabric is then laid out onto the cutting table and the paper pattern components are placed above the fabric and hand-cut individually and bundled.

The next move is to collect the freshly cut fabric and assemble the pieces into a basted fitting, or a “try-on”. Basting threads are the white threads you see in the image. These white basting threads hold the clothing organised during dressmaking which allows the tailor to adjust the suit (as many as 7 times) on the client’s person, thus allowing them to resolve crucial problems like the client’s shoulder slope, neck size, stomach girth, posture etc.so a perfect fit can be constructed.

The tailor and the client has to be very patient during this process, but the outcome is well worth the time and money. It’s also quite interesting to see a suit made from scratch, by a craftsperson’s hands, come alive before your naked eyes. This is why every man serious about his wardrobe should go for a bespoke suit. You will NEVER EVER get this outcome from an off-the-rack suit or a made-to-measure one. Once a man goes bespoke, he never go back.
