James – It’s good to hear from you and thank you for pointing out bespoke and made-to-measure are not the same; there is a difference.

Shubs and Patrick – Gentlemen, feel free to email any question you have to me personally at Antonio “at” A TailoredSuit.com. I always make time to talk with men interested in style.

I don’t like to get into the debate about what is true bespoke and what is true made-to-measure – there are forums that debate this point to ad nauseum. What I do know is that A Tailored Suit takes as many as 40+ measurements which we incorporate into a unique pattern for ever client. We look at a man’s build, complexion, and tastes when helping him design and build suits & shirts that will compliment his individual style. We know that our fabrics are what we say they are, we use only quality materials such as mother of pearl buttons and hand-packed shoulder pads, and pay attention to the details such as hand-sewn buttonholes and boutonnière loops. My team and I strive for the finest virtual tailoring available – what you choose to call it is your decision.

Best regards,

Antonio
President, A Tailored Suit

In the US it is a common mistake that is made due primarily to supposed "high end" clothiers like Brooks Bros. who intentionally skew the meaning to sell more clothes.
