- The Fit – it is the epitome of all reasons why one should go custom. It’s a rarity or your just plain lucky if you found an ‘off-the-rack’ shirt that was made for your body. On most occasions, it’s too baggy or too tight, too puffy or too stiff. With bespoke menswear you rule that inconvenience out.
- The Design– In addition to the fit, you get to choose every aspect of the shirt you want made… right from the fabric, fit, collar, down to the buttons. You don’t get that with off-the-rack. You buy what you get.

Bespoke on the other hand is in comparison economical giving you what you want in one go.
