  1. A MESSAGE FROM A BESPOKE TAILOR please buy second hand...!!! All my clients buy second hand, they buy vintage, they have garments made bespoke - and they have them altered to FIT, thats the key to looking good - GET YOUR CLOTHES ALTERED TO FIT Buy second hand, uses the money saved to have them altered to fit and KEEP THEM UNTILL THEY WEAR THROUGH

  3.  @HydratedBeans  - EXACTLY - that is why buying second hand is great - cos its self selecting for quality. If something is good enough to be sold after a few washes - its reasonable quality. If its 10 or 20 years old - ITS AMAZING QUALITY..!!! I have jackets that were made in 1970, they are like new.

  4.  @HydratedBeans  "It just sucks that everything is going to..." YES it does, we are making disposable badly fitting plastic clothing - but they dont go away when WE throw them i the bin

  5.  @HydratedBeans  Thats crap - the alternative I would suggest are the online markets where you can buy designer and quality brands. The D&G and such are just as crap, but if you ar buying a Rick Owens, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford they WILL be quality. Even second hand you will have to pay but you are at least getting well made garments and if you get bored with them - they still have a value YOU can sell. In 30 years they will have a vintage fashion value. The others are the quality classic shiting brands like Brunello Cucinelli, Zenga etc. These will maybe cost you $250 to $500 for a jacket but you are getting a $5000 jacket that is $5k cos its made well. Finally - learn to sew - T Shits and trousers are super simple to make. Literally anyone can make a pair of trousers - a jacket is a whole different game. Trousers are a 3/10 difficulty - a jacket is a 11/10 The first time you make yourself a pair of trousers that fit - and you realise that all your other trousers are actually uncomfortable at best and painful at worst - you will never buy a pair of off the rack trousers again...!!! GOOD LUCK...!!!

  6.  @stereo-soulsoundsystem5070  Oh OK - First of all, total credit for admitting you don't know and asking - that is a skill that will help you a lot in life...!! Bespoke means its made totally custom for you...! So If you came to me for a suit, I would take every measurement of your body, look at how you stand, how you walk, any unevenness in your body. Then we would discuss what you want, I actually make historical suits 1890 to 1940, but within that range, you can choose anything you want, we will choose the fabric and it will be made by hand, mostly hand-stitched, then there will be a fitting to make sure I have got it right and then I will finish it. It will be the only one in the world and it will be what you want down to the colour of the buttons. I will also tell yo what NOT to buy, things that will go out of fashion, fabrics that wont lost a long time, etc etc If you put on weight there is additional fabric hidden inside so you can have it altered to make it bigger up to about 4 inches 100mm It takes me about 150 to 250 hours and will cost you about €5,000 on the other hand it will last you 25 to 50 years of regular wear
