Whisper the term "Bespoke tailoring." The words conjure images of Victorian-era British luxury, exquisite, precise, and reserved for the nation's aristocracy. "Bespoke" derives from the verb "bespeak," the giving of orders for something to be made. In this case, it specifically denotes the creation of custom-made suits, jackets, and other clothing handcrafted by British tailors to exacting specifications. Perfected on London's Saville Row centuries ago, its ethos has since been carried worldwide. As distinguished from off-the-rack or made-to-measure clothing, bespoke tailored apparel is based on patterns explicitly crafted for each customer, with each reflecting more than 20 measurements. These patterns serve as the blueprint for the bespoke suit and are kept on file to be accessed should wearers require additional suitings. The tradition of world-class bespoke tailoring is among the hallmarks of Dunhill, the globally-renowned London-based luxury goods brand synonymous with peerless menswear, butter-soft leather goods, and fine accessories ranging from eyewear and writing instruments to men's jewelry, timepieces, lighters, golf wear, gifts, and games.

Launched by Alfred Dunhill in 1893, the company found immediate acceptance catering to British nobility as well as the landed gentry. By the early 20th century, it had expanded into a full line of luxuries designed to meet the tastes of the most discriminating English gentleman. Having carved out an unrivaled reputation in the British Isles, Dunhill expanded in the early 1920s, launching a store first in New York City and soon after one in Paris. Dunhill continued winning brand ambassadors worldwide, and not even a World War II bombing of its Duke Street store by the Luftwaffe could slow its expanding influence. By the 1970s, Dunhill offered more than 3,500 items. More recently, the company has unveiled Homes of Alfred Dunhill in select cultural and financial capitals across East Asia.
