Bespoke Suits that Speak Volumes About A Man’s Fashion Sense by Brandon Glaze, September 10, 2014 Do you know how the concept of three buttons on a suit jacket sleeve originated? Historically, it is said that decorating cuffs with buttons was started to deter the queen’s soldiers from wiping their noses on their sleeves! What an incredible way to start a history! These buttons were commonly seen in the ‘Surgeon Cuffs’ which was invented in 1865. In the modern era, these cuffs are worn for style and to bring back that classic era. According to ‘The Economist’, during the 19th century, Savile Row Street in central London was the place mostly inhabited by surgeons. The influence could be observed in most of the expensive suits as they all had ‘Surgeon Cuffs’. It was the age of bespoke suits, and those cuffs became an integral part of ‘style clothing’.
Clothing with a Difference Men’s clothing and bespoke suits are synonymous with each other. Its rich history and uniqueness has passed to many generations and still the demand has not subsided.
These suits are created according to an individual buyer’s specifications.

house of bespoke suits, and they would tell you how their master tailors take care of every intricate detail of each suit in terms of pressing operation, stitching and styling. These suits need numerous measurements and multiple fittings to obtain the perfect fit that buyers look for. Some suit tailoring firms may even take as many as 36 different measurements before giving the final shape to the suits with a distinctive look. The basic difference between a bespoke, made-to-measure suits and off-the-rack suit is that, bespoke suits are created from scratch that starts from choosing clothing material, design and even accessories with the help of a stylist. However, the other two suit types are measured and cut according to predefined sizes and shapes, which are then tailored. Hence, bespoke suits are true ‘custom-made’ suits that involve individual craftsmanship to personalize clothing as per the customer’s styling needs. These are way ahead of the standard or average suits that are mass produced and sold in the apparel market.
