'Bespoke' is actually a term which dates from the 17th century, when tailors held the full lengths of cloth in their premises.
When a customer chose a length of material, it was said to have “been spoken for”. A tailor who makes clothes individually, to a customer’s specific personal requirements, is called "bespoke".
This is different to “made-to-measure”, which uses a basic, pre-existing template pattern, which is then adjusted to roughly individual measurements.
When buying from the Michael Denee Bespoke range, our tailors will discuss with you what type of suit you are looking for, and its uses. Then a cloth is chosen from the full range available today, with great care taken to match which type of style and fit would be most suitable for the individual.
The Michael Denee Bespoke label has all the hallmarks to be expected from true bespoke tailoring:
More than 20 measurements and figuration details are taken from the customer. A personal pattern will be hand-drafted and cut.
Using an individual pattern, the cloth is then cut and trimmed, along with the finest linings and silks available. A single tailor is then given the parts of the garment to sew together, from the earliest fitting stages, to the final, complete suit. Each suit is completely hand-made, right down to the hand stitched button holes.
