We talk a lot about the way bespoke clothes look, but we neglect (at least comparitively) how they feel. Isn't that at least as important?
Do you think bespoke clothes feel better on you than RTW? Or is feel not part of the equation?
For me, I like the softness of my own clothes. I know that some RTW makers make soft clothes, but not (I think) quite this soft.
Second, I liked the relatively loose fit. I like to feel my jackets at only two places: the armhole, and the back of the neck. I really hate anything to feel tight or binding or restrictive.
Third, (and this is hard to put into words), there is a way in which properly balanced clothes move with you and fall back into place effortlessly. RTW tends to get discombobulated, and then requires frequent adjustments. Also, I can feel the collar at the back of the neck in nearly any direction I move, which gives me peace of mind.
Thoughts?
