What is the difference between a bespoke suit and a made-to-measure suit?

A bespoke suit and a made-to-measure suit are both tailored to fit an individual's body, but there are key differences between the two. A bespoke suit is entirely handcrafted from scratch, while a made-to-measure suit is based on an existing pattern that is then adjusted to the individual's measurements. Bespoke suits involve multiple fittings and an exhaustive process that ensures every detail is customized, from the choice of fabrics to the design elements. On the other hand, made-to-measure suits follow a standard pattern that allows for minor adjustments. Ultimately, bespoke suits offer unparalleled precision, craftsmanship, and exclusivity, tailored to the individual's unique preferences and body shape. Made-to-measure suits provide a more efficient process with a slightly smaller degree of customization.
