What's the difference between bespoke, made-to-measure and off-the-rack?

There are three main categories of clothing: off-the-rack, made-to-measure, and bespoke


Off-the-rack
clothing is standard produced clothing that is sold in the store. These clothes are made according to the standard measurements and designs and are readily available for purchase. Off-the-rack clothing is generally the least expensive option and offers limited options for fit and design.

Made-to-measure clothing is a hybrid between off-the-rack and bespoke clothing. These clothes are based on an existing pattern, but are adapted to the specific measurements and preferences of the customer. Made-to-measure clothing is generally more expensive than off-the-rack clothing, but offers more options for fit and design than off-the-rack clothing.

Bespoke clothing is the most customized option. The garment is designed from scratch and produced to the customer's exact specifications. This includes choosing the fabric, designing the garment and adjusting the fit. Bespoke clothing is the most expensive option, but offers the most flexibility and options for a perfect fit and unique design

The main difference between these three options is the degree of customization. Off-the-rack clothing is standard and has limited fit and design options, made-to-measure clothing is customized to the customer's specific measurements, and bespoke clothing is completely custom made and designed to meet the specific needs of the customer.
