Bespoke Tailoring

A bespoke garment means one designed from a blank canvas

In 1607 ‘bespoken’ was first used as an adjective to describe something commissioned or ‘ordered to be made’. The word bespoke comes from the word bespeak and today, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, bespeak still means ‘to order something or reserve it in advance’. The beauty of bespoke tailoring is that everything is possible and that any request can be met.
