OFF THE RACK - READY TO WEAR
The vast majority of clothing made and worn in the world fits within this category. Ready to wear clothing is factory made in finished condition and standardized
sizes, and has a wide range in quality standards depending on manufacturer. Of the three types ready to wear has the least control
MADE TO MEASURE
Menswear produced to order from an adjusted block pattern. Usually a paper pattern is not built, rather pieces that match those needed are collected and
assembled. It is differentiated from bespoke in that Men who choose to buy made to measure have some, but not all control over the process.
The degree of control varies considerably – expect more control to cost more. However it is very possible to get a perfect fit – the same as in bespoke
CUSTOM MADE
These garments are literally made for you. A clothier or tailor will take numerous measurements, upwards of 20+ including the slope of your shoulders and
back and will create a pattern from which your suit will be made. These suits will be more expensive than made-to-measure — with fabric costs
BESPOKE
The word bespoke itself is derived from the verb to bespeak or to “speak for something”. Specifically it means “to give an order for it to be especially made to the customer's specifications
Bespoke clothing offers a person full control. Bespoke standards particularly stress
Hand work used on garments
An individual cut of a pattern
A large selection of fabrics
