	Bespoke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bespoke is a usually British English term for clothing made at a customer's behest, and exactly to the customer's specification.
		Bespoke clothing is created without use of a pre-existing pattern; rather, the tailor makes the pattern based on the customer's body.
		This separates bespoke from "made to measure" clothing, which is made using a base pattern that is modified to the customer's body.

		Logsdail is based in NYC (cannot verify where his alleged bespoke garments are actually made), however his suits are not distinguished in any way with the notable exception of his outrageous price of $4,000 for a 2-piece suit---And I should know since I own one.
		Be careful as the famous names in bespoke clothing for the most part have fallen far from their once-glorious days.

	The Old New Thing : English Cut: Bringing bespoke tailoring into the general consciousness
		Thomas Mahon's English Cut is a glimpse into the world of bespoke tailoring, a world I was completely unaware of prior to his web site.

		Once a particular trendy word has seized the tiny collective mind of the herd, you can rest assured that you'll be seeing that word, be it "meme" or "trope" or "gamin" or "waif" or "soigne," from now 'til next Christmas in every imaginable context.
		It's just the past participle of the verb "bespeak," which means "to arrange" or "to order." Something that is "bespoke" has been made to order, as opposed to being purchased ready-made.
		"Bespoke" lately seems to have caught the fancy of people for whom just saying "custom-made" does not provide the "frisson" (1995's buzz word, by the way) it once did.
