How many men do you know who indulge in bespoke clothing? You know... beyond designer labels. Custom fit. Tailor-made.

Really?
To be clear I'm not asking about retail purchases. I'm asking more about satorial pieces like that which you acquire from bespoke professionals, like at bespokeclothier.com or such.

We know what bespoke means. There are plenty of people on this forum who wear bespoke suits, shirts and ties, and even more who wear made-to-measure.

Calm down you guys. I'm just doing research on the status of custom clothing in these economic times for an article, and the links to sales on Tom Ford ties from first reply was not what I was after. End of story. For my part I apologize for adding a website name- it was something I found in my research. I'm not selling anything.

The best thing to have done would have been to start this thread as a poll, then you would have real, quantifiable answers and responses.

A) shirts only
B) I'm the only one I know who has bought bespoke attire beyond shirts in past 12 months
C) 2-4 people
D) more than 5 people

By "people," do you mean all sexual orientations?

I want to answer accurately.

Thank you.
