Made-to-Leisure? Bespoke tailors in the US are now making inroads into Custom Casual Wear space
Gone are the days when the idea of tailoring or creating bespoke wear is the default pick for the best-dressed or most successful men, yet of tailors who create men casual wear on a par with high-street fashion feel, there were only a handful of them. However, 2020 is the year of millennial or Gen Y fashion. Crafting comfy and relaxed staples for the millennials including polos, knit shirts and field jackets—and, particularly those trending in the WFH (work-from-home) age, robes and boxers—that are not only available ready-to-wear, but also bespoke or even made-to-measure. The biggest advantages of bespoke tailoring, of course, include personalized services and embodying the exact fit of high-end fashion, cut to the chase.
Today’s bespoke tailors offer a supply of stylish made-to measure outfit for almost every occasion: pique shirts, everyday trousers and suede trousers and other semi-casual wear. Tailors in the US known only for bespoke suit are expanding their horizon to give space to relaxed dress codes this fall—from down jackets to sweaters and jogger pants. There are others that make bespoke five-pocket trousers, besides fulfilling orders for boxer shorts, polo shirts and pajamas, customable denim and even polos. They have also expanded onto an extensive range of hoodies, sneakers, tracksuits, cashmere, ultra-fine wool knits, etc. And now fancy that! If not then change is where it’s at.
The best part of a casual bespoke product is that it’s in no way different from the readymade wear. And what’s more than choice of fabric, initial fitting, design specifications and any adjustments, if necessary to be made? Mobile tailors show up right at your doorstep for taking measurements, provide virtual consultations too (due to the ongoing pandemic), and have the finished product dispatched later. Not only is casual made-to-measure comparatively painless, its fit is also smart and chic in every aspect, though a few bucks extra won’t burn your fingers. Now, how do you like that?
