Why Bespoke Suit Tailoring is Good For You!

Tailored clothing attires have been a fashion since long time. A dress that looks trendy but is not well fitted is a disaster. I am quite sure you will refrain from going to that cocktail party or best friends’ birthday party if you do not have properly fitted clothes.

Traditional tailoring is called Bespoke tailoring in the United Kingdom. Bespoke tailoring refers to the customization of apparel according to the buyer’s specific needs. It is cut and crafted from scratch, synchronizing with user’s wants and hence differs from those that are sold in retail shops or malls. The ones made in factory are made in standard sizes and lack the intricate craft of bespoke clothing. Also it is said that bespoke suit tailoring has been around since the twentieth century and is more expensive than traditional factory custom made suits and dresses. Yes it is true! It is one rich man’s choice. The term bespoke originated from Savile Row, a street in London considered “Golden mile of tailoring”.

How is it done?

A tailor will measure the circumference of the chest, the back, the waist as well as length and circumference of both arms and legs. He will also find the exact position of the arm holes and the degree of slope of shoulders. Also he will check the arm and side balance meaning he will check the customer’s body posture i.e whether he is bent forward, stands in an upright position or has a rounded posture.

After taking the measurements the tailor will draw the pattern on a piece of brown paper. If you have watched the movie The tailor of Panorama you might have seen in the opening scene how a tailor drafts a pattern!

The second type of suits that are available in the market are made to measure suits which are different from the custom-made Bespoke suits in a way that they are altered forms of ready-to-wear suits and thus they represent short-cut version of Bespoke suits. Most of the made to measure suits are manufactured in factories just like ready to wear garments but some companies make them by hand. 

Why should you choose bespoke clothing?

Even if there is no logical reason to choose bespoke clothing over any other type of clothing I would still say the experience of wearing a unique and authentic design crafted especially for you is wonderful. It has been in trend since the middle ages but now that there is a chance to choose your own design and pattern I must say you should give it a try.

There are thousands of brands that offer customization of suits and formal wear according to your own liking. One such superb brand is Langelli which offers sophisticated American designs customized by Europian tailoring techniques.

They use exquisite materials, their fabric is of high quality and originate from the classic Italian mills. They also provide quick service and do not take more than 20 business days to deliver the customized suits. The whole process of buying is done online ranging from selection of garments, customizing suits with different lapels, buttons and much more. Last but not the least is the measurement process which takes place with the help of a guided video tutorial.

The key to successful bespoke garment buying is knowing what you want and choosing the pattern wisely. The more you know about bespoke suit tailoring the easier it will be for you to have your best attire on.
