Bespoke suit
Bespoke tailoring handcrafted at Dandy Tailor
A bespoke suit is handcrafted down to every detail in our atelier. The pattern, fittings and details are built around the client’s body, purpose of use and personal style.
Bespoke vs. made-to-measure
A bespoke suit starts with an individual pattern
A bespoke suit differs from a made-to-measure suit because it is created through an individual pattern and hand craftsmanship. The process is deeper, slower and more personal.
- The pattern is drafted based on measurements and fitting notes.
- A fitting toile helps confirm the fit before the final suit is made.
- Details and proportions are refined through several fittings.
Process
How a bespoke suit is made
Fabric and pattern
The tailor recommends fabrics and drafts the suit pattern based on your measurements.
Fitting toile
A fitting toile is made from the pattern to check the fit and details.
Fittings
The suit is refined in the second and final fitting before finishing.
Why bespoke?
When you want more from fit and details
A bespoke suit is ideal for a client who wants the most personal result possible and is ready to go through the full fitting process. The final garment is built around the body, posture and intended use.
- Especially important celebrations, weddings and formal occasions.
- Clients for whom ready-made or made-to-measure patterns are not enough.
- When the proportions and craftsmanship of the suit are the main focus.

Final finishing in-store
