Bespoke or Made to Measure

Bespoke or Made to Measure

Bespoke “su misura” or Made to Measure “fatto su misura”

Often the term Bespoke “su misura” is confused “Made to Measure” “fatto su misura”, however, they are two words with different meanings. Below we would like to explain the “modus operandi” of our tailoring company regarding the 2 terms.

What is meant by “Bespoke” (su misura)

The craftsmanship process “Bespoke” is more specific than Made to Measure and therefore requires longer processing times.
It is a garment created and realized on the specific measures and stylistic needs of the customer, bringing the level of customization of the article to the maximum. It is a unique product designed and built thanks to a close collaboration between customer and tailor.
Each creation is a unique work of art, both in the measures and in the multiple customizations that each customer can choose at will.
This type of processing, as far as the Giammarco Saviano Tailoring Napoli tailoring is concerned, is applicable in creating:

• Coats;
• Suits; 
• Jackets; 
• Trousers; 
• Shirts; 
• Knitwear; 
• Leather Jackets & Casual Jackets; 
• Shoes.

The processing of a custom “Bespoke su misura” item takes place in several stages:
  • Meeting with the customer, this first step is particularly important as it sees the knowledge of the customer that is at the center of the project, with the craftsman acting as a style advisor based on their specific needs.
  • Measurement: in this phase the tailor highlights structure, posture and all its related defects, to “sew on him” the ideal product, making it a real second skin when finished.
  • Customization: having reached this step, you can give free space to your stylistic needs through the choice of multiple DETAILS, unique and exclusive refined details that our tailoring is pleased to be able to offer through the continuous search for their maximum expression; among these we have: precious fabrics and leathers according to the article requested to be created, unique silk linings, possibility of embroidering writings or dates, jewel buttons both gold and silver, as well as those in mother of pearl, horn, corozo or covered in silk and much more.
  • Exclusively Neapolitan tailoring: the product passes in this phase into the meticulous skilled hands of our craftsmen who work completely by hand a truly unique garment.
  • Strict quality control: only at the end will the garment be analyzed point by point to guarantee our high quality standards.
Giammarco Saviano Tailoring Naples tailoring at this point will create an ad hoc card of the customer in such a way as to make future orders faster except for changes in the measurements that will be communicated by the customer or verified by a tailor’s check up before proceeding.
Before moving on to the product packaging, the artisans of our tailoring will bring the multiple seals of exclusivity, ranging from the ceramic brooch depicting the logo in our corporate colors affixed to what is called “lapel or rever”, to move on to the seam of two different exclusive “limited edition” labels recalling the uniqueness of the garment over time.
Only at this point are our creations ready to be delivered, worn and exhibited around the world.
Usually, the process takes about 20/30 working days, especially for new customers, as it is necessary to create the customized model on its own measures.
The initial consultation takes about 60 minutes and then we schedule 2 or 3 fittings also depending on the client’s body shape.

What is meant by “Made to Measure” (fatto su misura)

It is a tailoring process that can be applied to an article in the existing collection. The craftsmanship process of a “Made-to-Measure” item takes place in different phases:
  • Meeting with the client;
  • Inspection of the fabric corresponding to the collection’s product of the moment visible on the ipad: Coats, Suits, Suits four seasons, Tuxedo, Jacket or Trousers;
  • Measurement: once from the collection’s item of the moment has been chosen, the tailor takes the measurements to understand which size is best to start with, on this will be made, if necessary, possible changes;
  • Neapolitan craftsmanship: after completing everything with our tailor, the collection’s product will pass into the skilled hands of our artisans “sdifettando” all possible changes marked and staked.
The end result will be that of an artisan collection article adapted to the customer’s measurements.

(Bespoke su misura) or (Made to Measure fatto su misura): which to choose?

Both services have their important merit, but at the same time they show their differences both in terms of service, both in terms of final product, and in terms of cost.
The “Bespoke su misura” service is rightly considered “The best of the best” because the customer is at the center of the project and the artisan is a true style advisor.
It is an opportunity to own something that is designed and created exclusively for you: you will never encounter someone wearing the same item!
From exclusively selected fabrics, at the highest level of customization, to the cut of the personal model, to the artisan tailoring and to the perfection of the wearability of the article, strictly sewn on specific body measurements in order to make it a real second skin for the customer. We believe that the handmade “Bespoke su misura” product is a must that any gentleman should have in their wardrobe.
