Made to measure vs bespoke tailoring-By Bennevis

When it comes to luxury menswear, two popular tailoring options often stand out made to measure and bespoke. While both offer a personalized fit and elevated style, they differ in terms of process, customization, time and price. Understanding these differences can help you decide which suits your lifestyle and sartorial needs better.

At Bennevis fashion we specialize in both MTM and bespoke tailoring, offering refined craftsmanship tailored to your personality and purpose.

What is Made to Measure [MTM]

MTM is a tailoring process that begins with preexisting pattern and adjusts it to your body measurements. You can choose the fabric, buttons and lapel style and lining. The result is the garment that fits far better than off- the rack but is still based on a standard based design.

At Bennevis our MTM service is designed for those who seek high quality tailoring with a faster turnaround offering a semi-custom experience that doesn’t compromise on sophistication.

Time required: typically takes 2-4 weeks

However MTM has its limits. Since it adapts standard patterns, it might not resolve very unique body posture or asymmetry issues perfectly. That’s where Bennevis bespoke shines.

What is bespoke?

Bespoke is the gold standard of tailoring. Every detail from the pattern to final stitch is created from scratch. It involves multiple fittings, handwork and close collaboration between you and the tailor. Bespoke suits are crated entirely around your body, preferences and lifestyle.

At Bennevis fashion our bespoke craftsmanship is a tribute to timeless tailoring. With a dedicated team of artisans, we shape every suit is an extension of your personality, carefully constructed, entirely unique and finished by hand.
