Whats the difference between bespoke and semi bespoke suits?
In short, a fully bespoke suit involves a baste stage (half-made suit) and is 100% hand-made and as a result costs around £3,000 when ordered from other tailors in Savile Row. A fully bespoke suit requires a minimum of 3 fittings and around 80 hours of manual work. A semi-bespoke suit is not 100% hand-made and is made to a straight finish (no baste, half made stage) and then altered afterwards and costs anything from £400 to £1200 depending on the quality of the tailor. A Jasper Littman personally tailored suit (semi-bespoke) starts from £595. The average price is about £699-£799. A fully bespoke suit starts from £1995. For a full explanation of how bespoke suits are made see the bespoke page.
