The Tightness Flows...
I just finished reading this article in NY Magazine. It's all about my favorite shop in New York, Lord Willy's. The author speaks of the made to measure craze going on in men's fashion right now. His story revolves around a fitting he went through for a bespoke suit from LW's in the name of research for the article. He never intended to buy the suit, but, speaking from my own custom shirt experience at LW's, once you start the process and have a few glasses of champagne during your fitting, it's nearly impossible to resist. Oh sweet tightness...

I'm sorry it took me so long to read this -- I think it's a nice (not great) look at the world of custom clothiers. I wish he'd have talked more about the experience, but who knows, maybe he'll follow up when it's done.
I agree, incidentally, with the dictionary definition of bespoke that was offered: bespoke = the pattern is made for you, not adjusted to you as it would be for a made-to-measure suit. Good find, Pete.
