Did you know that the bespoke suit originated in the 16th century in France? It has since been the most widely hailed form of formal men's wear. A bespoke suit is an item of clothing that is custom made and hand stitched for a man. Since its inception the suit has evolved into various types and fits. In fact, the suit can be designed completely according to the need and whim of the gentleman ordering it and customized to his exact specifications.
3 Most Popular Styles of a Bespoke Suit
The bespoke suit can be made in a range of styles - from the classic, super formal double breasted coat with six buttons, to the suave and stylish single breasted, single buttoned doubled vented suit. There are three basic combinations a bespoke suit can have:
The Casual Suit: This style is single breasted and has one button in the front and a single vent at the back. The single button is not a very formal style and can be worn at semi formal or after-hours events. It accords a casual elegance to the wearer. This suit is not ideally worn for official or formal events.
The Formal Suit: This custom suit is probably the most popular style. While it is not absolutely formal, it is used mostly as an office wear. A comfortable style, it is suave and patronized by celebrities the world over. You can dress it up or down and look perfect. It is single breasted, with a single vent and two buttons. The lapels are usually notched, although a peak lapel can be used to display authority or status. This design is perfect for a wide variety of occasions, such as office events, weddings, and formal affairs.
The Super Formal Suit: The classic formal bespoke suit is double breasted, with a double vent and 2x6 buttons. The buttons give the suit a formal feel, while the double vent makes it a comfortable fit. The lapel in this case is usually a peak. This suit is ideal in slim fit and is designed to make the shoulders appear broad. This super formal custom suit admittedly has a slightly old fashioned, gentlemanly feel to it.
The bespoke suit is usually constructed out of formal fabrics, such as silk, raw silk and worsted wool. The designs can be further customized by the wearer. The right accessories, such as a silk tie or a classy cravat, cuff links and patent leather shoes, can add to the stylishness of the suits. Trousers for all these suits are usually straight fronted and non-pleated.
