Truly Real Bespoke
Words, people, and things all undergo change. The terms
"bespoke" and "speak for" have also undergone changes in meaning and context.
Swings and roundabouts—despite their cliche—are especially pertinent to the
peculiar scenario of "bespoke." Once reserved for those wearing
Savile Row suits
and a symbol of sophistication and wealth, the word has become commonplace in
modern English. Anything may be made "bespoke"; we can now take the commonplace
and turn it into the extraordinary, the commonplace into the bourgeois, even if
only for a brief period of time.
The term "bespoke" is undoubtedly loaded with connotations and a rich history
when it enters the twenty-first century, but due to its attraction, it has been
appropriated and taken over by any endeavor that aims to highlight exclusivity,
luxury, and individuality. Like too little butter over too much bread, the term
has been disseminated too widely, which is the issue. Not only is the term
"bespoke" used to describe a wide range of products, but it has also lost
significance in its original context.
The term is now used to characterize any
gentleman's suit, from ready to wear to
tailored to measure and all in between, by any would-be designer, consultant,
expert, or so-called tailor. A suit must meet certain requirements in order to
be considered authentically customized in the sense of Savile Row. The first
step is to select a high-end fabric from a reputable house such as Holland &
Sherry, Ariston, or Dormeuil. The next step is to get yourself professionally
measured by a tailor to determine your physical attributes, attitude, and
vision. No matter how much thorough Goggling is done, someone who loves to thumb
through GQ issues or has a propensity for tailoring does not qualify.
True tailors have completed an apprenticeship program. They have spent several
years mastering the profession with accuracy and working their way up the ladder
of responsibility as a
master tailor's understudy. Certain tailors
specialize in making jackets, while others cut pants, while yet others just
finish suits without ever cutting a pattern. As the suit takes shape, the master
cutter will create a pattern or toile that will be built up around you. It's not
supposed to be a rapid process, so it's not. You're welcome to participate in
this labor of love and live the experience.
Take caution: once you don a genuine custom suit, you become the standard. Going ahead, nothing else will suffice.
