What is Bespoke?

For some of you gents the word Bespoke is as familiar as tea with your Sunday morning news paper. For others, Bespoke is synonymous with endless options and ideas. But for those who don’t know anything about it, here is a quick explanation of what Bespoke truly is…

Originating in the 17th century, the word first came about when tailors used to have a full stock of fabric in their shops. Customers would peruse through the scores of fabrics that the tailors offered and the chosen fabric would then “be spoken for.” Today, we consider bespoke to be garments that are made individually according to the personal needs of each given client.

So what is made-to-measure, you might ask? Well, simply put, it is the act of adapting an already made garment to the measurements of the client to have a perfect fit.

The Experience

Alexander 1922 isn’t simply a shopping experience, it’s a shared creative experience between the designer and the client
to create a personal, sartorial style.

A man should look as if he had bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care, and then forgotten all about them.
