About Bespoke

Looking for a high-end bespoke outfit? The world's most expensive custom suit, known as the Stuart Hughes Diamond Edition, will only set you back a cool $900,000. It takes over 800 hours to stitch, featuring silk, wool, and cashmere fabric. And, oh yeah, there are only three in the world. You might be better off heading to your local tailor, instead.

Did you Know?

Bespoke used to be bespoken, literally meaning that a clothing item was discussed beforehand — the only way to get something truly custom.

"Napoleon, this is a perfect case against wearing your bespoke outfits while on assignment in the field,"Illya chastised him.

Solo's brand new custom made double-breasted suit jacket had just been shredded by the horns of a bull as he used it as a cape to distract the beast.

Illya hit the escaped animal with a sleep dart, saving his partner from further damage.

"Well thank goodness it didn't gore me in the derrière; that would have been almost as painful a wound than having my suit destroyed."

Illya decided to forego is usual eye roll and merely shook his head.

My 50th Mr, Waverly "word" - will start another character tomorrow.....

Mr. Waverly was once again irritated at the expense accounts of his two top agents. For once the accounting was high on Mr. Kuryakin's part, he having for the first time given in to his partners badgering to get a bespoke suit. The Italian silk and wool blend suit was now at the bottom of the Grand Canal in Venice and Mr. Kuryakin was back to wearing his off the rack black suits.
