1. So I’ve explored and vigorously hammered home the essentials of bespoke tailoring more times than
Paris Hilton has denied fabricating sex tapes (actually, did she ever deny the blatantly obvious?), Bill
Clinton had dismissed sexual relations with an unassuming intern and Tim Tebow has sworn by virginity
like white on rice. What is there left to write about, you ask? Fit, finding the right tailor, pants, nuances
of your suit. Check. Not so much on the details even finer than the nuances. Details, that when adhered
to, will make your suit stand out heads and shoulders above the rest. Give you bragging rights. In
spades. Now that’s priceless.
Jacket Lining
Most off the rack suits come with lining already stitched in. Hence, your jacket lining will be standard,
non extravagant and will certainly not speak towards your unique taste. Bespoke suits afford you room
for personalization. While most people will not see the interior of your suit jacket, but for those wanting
to make their suits truly unique, choosing interlining of your choice is just as important as selecting your
exterior fabric. If you are opting for a conservative look, your safest option is to match the lining of your
jacket to the exterior fabric of your suit. If, however, you are opting for something bold, a grey suit with
purple lining or a Navy blue suit with red or burgundy lining will really give your suit some extra kick!

2. Colored Button Holes
Color Buttons have been becoming increasingly popular, with more sophisticated bespoke clients opting
for one colored button hole that matches the lining of their jackets or stripes that form the pinstripe
color scheme for that particular jacket. This can often be a great detail to pay attention to for a wedding
suit, where color schemes are often present!
Real Horn Buttons
One of the finer details of a bespoke suit is often the quality of the buttons. The sartorially inclined
gentleman will often opt for real horn or mother of pearl buttons.
Monogramming
Monogramming is a distinctive feature of a bespoke suit. Monograms are usually embroidered on the
inside of your suit jacket and can be anything from your initials to your full name.
And that’s a wrap for this one! As always, comments and suggestions are welcome!
