I. What Is Bespoke Tailoring?
Bespoke is usually associated with menswear. “Bespoke” is derived from the passive verb “be spoken for.” It describes “something that has been discussed carefully before being done.” Bespoke suits are made from scratch according to a specific customer’s order. Bespoke refers to features of personalization, differentiation, and elite.
Bespoke tailoring is the pinnacle of careful calculation and sophisticated handcraft. It‘s an art and also a science. Bespoke tailoring is not just making clothes based on careful measurement. It’s the process of exploring one person’s uniqueness and identity, honoring that style, and expressing these specialties through clothing.

II. The Bespoke Tailoring Process
1. The Initial Meeting
a. Getting To Know You
In the first meeting, it’s important to clarify where and when you want to wear the new bespoke suit. Knowing the style, preferences, and messages that you want to convey throughout the suit makes it easy for the tailors to find out what best fits you. That’s the reason why tailors always take care of customers’ needs thoughtfully. This understanding helps them deliver the best suitable tailoring option to clients.
b. Choosing Your Style
If you are preparing for your wedding, a tuxedo or three-piece suit would be your best choice. If you organize your party and want to come into the spotlight, then colorful bespoke suits can satisfy your needs. It would help if you chose a tailored business suit to participate in a conference. There are many options for you to take as a reference at Thomas Nguyen.
You will have many fabric options with different effects to choose from. Synthetic fiber mixed with different strands, linen, polyester, or wool fabrics, each has a winning advantage. You can also order any other type of fabric that you want. We can import fabrics from foreign countries to make the best suit for you.
You will also be involved in designing the details of your suit. The tailor will consult you on a mix of suit details that may create the fashion effect you want. Based on that, you will choose the types of lapel, pocket, cuff, canvas, lining, picking stitching, Milanese buttonhole, etc. Just believe in your feelings and make what you draw in your mind come true!
c. Taking Measurement
After you agree on the suit’s design and the type of fabric, the tailor will take your measurements. The tailor needs to get the answer for more than 30 measures and configurations. That’s a big amount of information. But only if all these technical numbers are precise, the actual tailoring process can start.
2. Pattern Creation
The beginning of the technical process of tailoring is pattern making. This is a tricky part. It can make or destroy the whole process. Firstly, the tailor will draft his client’s body shape and posture on a paper pattern based on previous measurements. The tailor will then put these model pieces on the fabric to cut the cloth. Next, they will loosely sew together the separate patterns to create the shell of the garment.
3. Fitting
In the first fitting, customers will try on the temporarily sewn garment, called a “working” jacket. This jacket helps the tailor determine the fit level of the very first version of the suit. The tailor will check the sleeve length, shoulder width, links between the shoulder, sleeves, and back, etc. The main question is whether all things are fit and comfortable enough. Then, the tailor marks chalked dots on the cloth to remember how to adjust later.
4. Hand Stitching
After finishing the fitting and adjustment stage, the tailor and customer get a satisfied suit form. The phrase hand stitching will take place. The lining must be completely cut by hand. The buttons also need to be crafted meticulously. Both doing the hand stitching at the edge of the lapel, pocket, and lap and stitching the Milanese buttonhole require a lot of skill and effort because they are, once again, all handmade. Just remember we are going through a bespoke tailoring process. The difficulty in making and the final magical fashion effect of these hand-making details can express all the most expensive and luxurious features of a bespoke suit.
5. Order Ready
The final suit is now ready for customers to try on. If there are no other problems, the suit will be delivered to the customer. The making team has put a lot of effort into turning the imagination of a bespoke suit into reality. That’s the meaningful story of the bespoke tailoring process, from the nothing beginning to an endless journey of the tailored suit.

III. The Art Of Bespoke Tailoring At Thomas Nguyen
Art starts from the heart. Art originates from love. Art is not about telling something and others will get it. Art is about spreading what you feel caringly, lovingly, intangibly to the hearts of others.
Thomas Nguyen has never forgotten the value of art in each bespoke suit. Every bespoke suit at Thomas Nguyen has a different story, an amazing starting point. But the common similarity is that they have always been made with heart. And what starts from one heart will surely come into other hearts.
Let’s dive into fashion and art with the bespoke suits made by Thomas Nguyen!
1. Wedding Tailored Suit Collection
a. The While Tuxedo
Thomas Nguyen has a whole collection of tailored wedding suits with different design, fabric and meaning. This is one of the models that many grooms like to wear on a destination wedding on the beach, in the garden or dining in a wedding – The White Tuxedo.
With The White Tuxedo, you look like an elegant prince on a white horse. The powerful peak lapel, the sophisticated satin highlight, the interesting mix of color black and white are the super classy details that make this tuxedo attractive and eye-catching.
b. The Black Tuxedo
The Black Tuxedo, yet, is more traditional than the White Tuxedo. Because black has always been a safe and easy-to-wear choice. If white is the beginning of the new journey, black is the end of what is extravagant to be mature in marriage.
The tailored Black Tuxedo from Thomas Nguyen has a smooth shawl lapel. The curve of the lapel helps lower the rigidity of the black color, increase comfort and sociability. Cashmere fabric from India made of nearly 80% polyester and some other fibers is durable and less wrinkled. This helps the Tuxedo maintain a flat and beautiful appearance over time.
c. The Blue Three-Piece Suit
The tailored blue three-piece suit includes a suit jacket, trousers, and waistcoat. This type of wedding suit is one of the best choices for a groom who likes to spread out a young, energetic yet powerful vibe at the wedding.
The blue three-piece suit is made of soft Dolce & Taylor fabric. The high wool in the fabric creates a special feature of good elasticity. The tuxedo includes many simple and traditional suit details. Therefore, the highlight that matters comes from delicate, flexible sewn lines.
2. Colorful Tailored Suit Collection
Nature has always been the infinite inspiration for art and fashion. Getting inspired by the mischievous glitter and brilliance of a fairy tail in ancient Europe, this collection includes colorful suits representing various shades of nature. Let’s see how artistic these bespoke suits are.
a. The Moss Green Two-Piece Suit
The Moss Green bespoke suit is a combination matching dozens of flexibly artistic tiny details. The yellow Milanese buttonhole stands out among the moss-green background. The white pick stitching, and the custom-designed lining printed with the image of Landmark 81, all of them are the perfect symbols of a high-class tailored suit.
b. The Beach Blue Two-Piece Suit
The Milanese buttonhole of the Beach Blue two-piece suit is embroidered with two types of color. Yellow and blue, the two main elements of the color wheel, are also a perfect couple in art and design.
The paisley pattern of the suit jacket‘s lining represents fertility in life. It is said that paisley can bring luck to anyone wearing it. The half-canvas runs on the insight of the chest and lapel of the suit, creating a sturdy form, yet smooth with natural drape. That’s how beautiful and careful a suit made from the heart could be.
c. The Dreamy Purple Two-Piece Suit
The creative conceptualizing of the Dreamy Purple bespoke suit includes much artistic consideration. Choosing the striking dreamy purple requires moderation in other details, to create a harmonious and balanced whole.
Dreamy purple blends the passionate warmth of red and the quiet depth of blue. It brings out a unique and outstanding feeling, yet remains elegant and classy. This design has been requested for consultation so many times at Thomas Nguyen.
d. The Mineral Green Two-Piece Suit
The first impression when looking at the Mineral Green two-piece suit is the peak lapel. On the left lapel, there is a Milanese buttonhole. The Milanese buttonhole is the symbol of luxury and class. But when this element has the same color as the background, it becomes much more delicate and humble.
The Mineral Green has the meaning of peace and balance. But we cannot ignore how outstanding it is. For those who love the new and fresh vibe, artistically, this suit is for you.
e. The Burnt Orange Two-Piece Suit
Dark Burnt Orange is an impressive color. This orange suit will attract attention anywhere and anytime it appears. Because Dark Burnt Orange has an amazingly realistic natural depth with a mix of red, yellow, and a little blue.
The Milanese buttonhole on the peak lapel, continuously, is the special highlight of the suit. Although the other details’ design is not so fussy, it is enough to harmonize with the impressive color. This is one of the most loved of Thomas Nguyen‘s customers.
f. The Bordeaux Red Two-Piece Suit
The design of the Bordeaux bespoke suit is worthy of the word “fashionable”. The black Milanese buttonhole affirms strength. When combined in the red tone, it creates overall harmony but still looks attractive and cool. The suit is charismatic like the delicious Bordeaux wine. It reminds us of the image of power and fame.
g. The Tobacco Three-Piece Suit
The Tobacco three-piece suit represents luxurious and calm beauty. With a classic design, it would be a wonderful choice for both formal and informal events. The Tobacco suit brings a feeling of warmth and intimacy, yet still dignified and mature.
