Great video, i find myself more and more fascinated by the world of men’s fashion. While i own more than a couple of tailor stitched suits it is far from what you can call a bespoke. The reason being the knowledge and skills of the tailors involved. Services are generally cheap here in Pakistan, however one does not get the same quality of a suit worth calling a bespoke. I hope we can keep getting more and more videos from you

Thank you Raphael–I have really been enjoying your site over the last few weeks as I educate myself on a lot of basics that I thought I knew. Relating to this article, I am wondering if you, or anyone else here, might care to opine on the following:

*How long it should take the cutter to create the client’s pattern and for the tailor to have the basted fitting ready?* (Jacket only).

*Does a week seem like too little time? (Assume the cutter and tailors have been in business for decades, the work is done in house and the house is not overwhelmed with other orders Probably also safe to assume that the tailor is paid by the hour and thus motivated/willing to put in some over time.)

I don’t know if tomorrow’s fitting will be “forward” or “skeleton”.

In reply to Tony Chow. CMT stands for Cut, Make, Trim and is not used for bespoke only but for all kinds of manufacturing. Basically, the customer supplies the fabric, leather, last etc. and then the producer charges a flat fee for the service of making the product rather than charging for the product itself.
