Sartoraile Splendour

Slipping into a custom-made suit is simply the ultimate in dressing sensations-a thrill that could be compared with the thrill of slipping behind the wheel of your own first car. If 100 of the world?s best dressed men gathered, the majority would surely be wearing custom-made suits and shirts. Bespoke historically has been the common language of Men of Style- from the royals to dandies, from movie stars to the rich there has always been a dialogue between a man and his tailor and its no different today.

In ascending the fashion ladder, gentlemen who aspire to reach the height of luxury and elegance will eventually arrive to the highest level of personal dressing after crossing the paths of mass-production. Eventually, having a master-tailor minister to every fashion whim is very seductive to those in power who are used to micromanaging every area of their lives.

A fine custom-made suit always will trump the best readymade one and this makes perfect sense since more time, effort and money are required by both maker and user. The custom-tailor uses more expensive fabrics and spends hours carefully hand-sewing and manually preparing each stage of the garment. Likewise, the custom client must commit his own time and participate in numerous fittings that are required for a perfect tailor-made suit.

The bottom line of all personal style begins and ends with the correct proportion of one?s clothes and therefore the various measures and fittings are the most important part of Bespoke service. After going thru all this, when you finally stand in front of a mirror in your perfectly tailored suit, will you really appreciate all the hard work behind it. And once you start thinking about details such as sleeve lengths and trousers bottom widths will you suddenly realize that you have developed strong opinions about how your clothes should or should not fit just like your tailor.
