Suits which are adjusted from a standard pattern and then cut and stitched by machine, meanwhile, are properly known as made-to-measure. The difference: at least two grand to you, Sir. All designer suits (even those who throw around words like couture and bespoke) are usually made-to-measure, and while often very fine, are not true bespoke. Until now.

But, as a friend who got a bespoke suit made for a few hundred quid in Singapore recently discovered, there's bespoke and then there's bespoke.

For a helping hand from chaps with a similar penchant for the perfect suit, The London Lounge offers forums on everything Savile Row, whilst A Suit That Fits will visit you at home or work to custom fit your chosen attire.
