The Mystery Of The House Of Bespoke Tailoring Revealed

Bespoke tailors are not exactly mystical beings

, not by a long shot if one is to go by the description of creatures that lived in the fascinating world of the legendary writer J.R.R. Tolkien. However, one thing that many men may agree on is that the bespoke tailoring that these bespoke tailors do is quite mystifying and amazing on its own.

Indeed, the bespoke suits that these highly skilled tailors draft and craft by hand can evoke so much emotion on the wearer as well as on anyone that looks at him.

However, if a pragmatic individual really do insist on peeking behind the closed doors of the making of a bespoke tailoring piece then, perhaps, the best place to start is at the place where it all began some centuries ago and that would be, of course, in London's Savile Row, where the high standards of bespoke tailoring are still being strictly observed.

Upon entering, one can observe that the personnel in most tailoring houses are divided into salesmen, cutters and tailors. Salesman, who fronts the reception or lounge area, is the first person to greet the client and generally understand what the buyer wants in a custom suit.

More than that though, these well-dressed and well-polished salesmen, or client consultant as their preferred job title, are quite knowledgeable and can be a great source of advice on suiting fabric and style. And in many small tailoring houses, the owner or the founder of the shop is likewise the client consultant.

Next on the list is the cutter. He is called the cutter, but actually he is likewise the man who will measure up the size and fit of the wearer's body.

It is absolutely crucial that the cutter and the client have an open and good communication between them to achieve the right fit and style vision that the latter wanted. To a lot of extent, cutters are the core of the business and many clients will follow their cutters wherever he works.

Tailors, meanwhile, are the coat makers, trouser makers and even waistcoats. Usually, they do not have much interaction with the clients.

So basically bespoke tailoring houses are typically built on the reputations of either the client consultants or cutters. But many cutters start off as tailors until they move up to being cutters after gaining enough experience.

Indeed, understanding the roles of the main players of the house of bespoke tailoring is one way to get less intimidated by these ordinary creatures with mystical skills to create such elegance and beauty.
