The word “bespoke” originates from the verb “bespeak,”
which dates back to Old English.
The verb “bespeak” meant “to speak for” or “to arrange in advance.”
Over time, it came to signify the act of ordering something tailored or customized for a specific person.
By the 18th and 19th centuries,
it was firmly associated with custom tailoring.
We can do pretty much anything you want, even this kind of thing!
What about Bespoke Women’s Wear?
Bespoke tailoring for women presents
unique challenges that differ from traditional men’s tailoring.
- Women’s bodies typically exhibit more varied curves and proportions, making the fitting process more intricate. We account for bust, waist, and hip measurements, which vary significantly among our clients.
- The bespoke tailoring industry has been predominantly male-oriented, and this often deter some women from seeking bespoke services. Jas will make you feel right at home and understands your specific needs.
- Bespoke tailoring is often associated with men’s fashion, leading to fewer options and less emphasis on women’s bespoke wear. Not so with The Bohemian!
- Women’s fashion encompasses a broader range of styles, fabrics, and design elements compared to men’s.
Lets talk about ‘The Cut’
What is The Cut?
“The Cut” is a term used by tailors to refer to the specific technique and style of cutting fabric to create a bespoke garment. It is central to the artistry and craftsmanship of bespoke tailoring, where the garment is custom-made for the individual client. In essence, “The Cut” is the soul of Savile Row tailoring and the inspiration behind us here at The Bohemian. The cut is a combination of technical precision, artistic vision, and a deep understanding of how fabric, style, and the human form come together.

Precision / Design / Elegance
- Hand-cutting fabric from patterns that are drafted uniquely for each client.
- Crafted using traditional hand-stitching techniques, ensuring durability and a refined finish.
- Slightly raised sleeve heads create a bold look.
- Higher arm holes allow for a better range of motion while maintaining a close, clean fit.
- A floating canvas inside the jacket molds to the wearer’s body over time for a natural drape.
- A gently tapered waist enhances the V-shaped silhouette, providing a sleek and strong appearance.
- The jacket length is slightly longer than some modern styles, creating a balanced figure.
- Typically we run with medium-width peak or notch lapels on smart or suit jackets with a subtle roll, adding to the timeless appeal.
How are cloth & fabric quality measured?
When it comes to superfine materials for suit construction, the grading primarily refers to the fineness of the wool fibers used in the fabric.
The most common grading system is the “Super” number, which indicates the average diameter of the wool fiber in microns. The higher the number, the finer and softer the wool, but also the more delicate and expensive the fabric.
Other Superfine Suit Fabrics
Apart from wool, there are other premium materials used in superfine suiting:
- Cashmere Blends – Offers unparalleled softness but less durability. Often mixed with wool for warmth and luxury.
- Silk Blends – Adds sheen and a smooth texture but can be more delicate.
- Vicuna Wool – One of the rarest and most expensive materials, incredibly soft but highly delicate.
Choosing the Right Superfine Grade
- For everyday suits: Super 100s – 130s
- For luxury and occasional wear: Super 140s – 180s
- For ultimate exclusivity: Super 200s and beyond
