Why buy a Bespoke Shirt

There are many suppliers of bespoke shirts, both online and offline. This means there must be many people buying them on a daily basis. There are also a large number of people that really do not understand the benefits of a bespoke shirt over a ready to wear. here we attempt to fill the knowledge gap.

Most ready to wear shirts are made from relatively cheap cottons, and are deliberately mass produced to enable the manufacturer to benefit from economies of scale. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that - there are many people looking for a 'bargain'. However, if you are one of the people that looks for quality in the items that they spend their hard earned money on, then a ready to wear shirt becomes less of a bargain.

A good quality ready to wear shirt costs little less than a good bespoke, mainly because the manufacturers want to set the more costly range apart from their cheaper brands - they feel people will buy the exclusivity.

If exclusivity is what you want then for not much more a bespoke shirt made to measure can be yours.

So what does bespoke give you that ready to wear cannot?

More than anything the answer is choice - Choice of fabric quality, choice of fabric colour, choice of fabric weave, choice of collar style, choice of cuff style - the list goes on.

Next on the list is the fit - A ready to wear shirt usually is made by collar size in half inch steps. Some allow a small range of sleeve lengths to be chosen, but in all cases the body will be made to fit the largest person they expect to try to fit into a shirt of that collar size. So, unless you are a body builder you are likely to be disappointed.

A bespoke shirt is made to YOUR measurements, it fits only you. Exclusivity at its most exclusive so to speak.

So how much for a bespoke shirt? Anything from around �60 to over �200 depending on quality.
