More on Bespoke
Description from Wikipedia:
Bespoke is usually a British English term for tailored clothing (including coats, suits, and shirts) made at a customer's request and exactly to the customer's specification. In American English, it is a synonym for custom made. Bespoke clothing is created without use of a pre-existing pattern, differentiating it from made to measure, which alters a standard-sized pattern to fit the customer.
Some argue, such as the traditional Savile Row tailors represented by the Savile Row Bespoke Association, that the term bespoke further implies that the garment is at least substantially handmade, while a ruling by the British Advertising Standards Authority has ruled it is a fair practice to use the term bespoke for products which do not fully incorporate such traditional construction methods.
The word bespoke itself is derived from the the verb to bespeak, to "speak for something", in the specialized meaning "to give order for it to be made". Today, it is also frequently used in fields varying widely from technical components specifically developed for a certain application (e.g. bespoke software); to the car industry, when customers get a chance to have an automobile made to their specification; and ranging now even to cake decorating.
