Tailors | Bespoke Tailoring

"If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor." - Albert Einstein.

"The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this." - Mark Twain.

TRADITIONAL TAILORING is called bespoke tailoring in the United Kingdom, where the heart of the trade is in London's Savile Row, and custom tailoring in the United States and Hong Kong. This is unlike MADE TO MEASURE which uses pre existing patterns. A bespoke garment or suit is completely original and unique to each customer.

BESPOKE is a term employed in a variety of applications to mean an item custom-made to the buyer's specification. While applied to many items now, from computer software to luxury car appointments, the term historically was only applied to tailored clothing, shirts and other parts of men's apparel involving measurement and fitting. The distinguishing points of bespoke tailoring are the buyer's total control over the fabric used, the features and fit, and the way the garment should be made. More generally, bespoke describes a high degree of customisation, and involvement of the end-user, in the production of the good.

A POWER SUIT is suit which you wear at work to make you look important or confident.

TRANDS - Trands suits are a brand of designer suits created by Dalian Dayang Trands, a Chinese company. The company was founded in 1979 by Li Guilian. Trands is known for being worn by billionaires Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and the President of China Hu Jintao. In a video released by the company, Buffett praised the brand, saying he had thrown away all his other suits and only wears Trands.
