The clothing industry makes $12 billion per year — and that's in the United States alone. You buy new clothes annually, just like everyone else. But you want to make sure your money's going into a wardrobe full of high-quality pieces. 

Now, as you build an enviable collection of shirts, trousers, and jackets, you've started to wonder if you should take your fashion one step further. Namely, you're starting to think, should I invest in bespoke clothes? 

The short answer to that question is yes. To prove our point, here are three reasons why it's time to trade off-the-rack outfits for fine men's clothing made just for you.

1. Bespoke Clothes Bring Your Vision to Life

One major reason to invest in bespoke clothes is that you can't seem to find the exact item you're looking for. Let's say you're envisioning a suit to wear for a family wedding or upscale event. You want something that stands out — a different fabric, color, or type of suit than what you're finding on the rack.

If you work with a stylist or a tailor to create bespoke suits or any other garment, they will create it with your exact vision in mind. You will work together to choose fabrics and draw up the design for the clothing item you seek. You'll be along for the ride, too, making sure the garment continues to fit the bill as it goes from the drawing board to patterns and becomes a real-life, wearable item.

And your bespoke items don't necessarily have to be for fancy occasions only. You can get bespoke shirts for all sorts of events, from weddings to Friday night football games to beachside dining on your next vacation. We can't reiterate it enough: whatever type of garment you need or want, a bespoke clothesmaker can bring it to life. 

2. Bespoke Clothes Fit You to a T

We've already touched on the fact that bespoke clothes will bring your vision and style to life. But that's only one way that they'll fit you. With a professional tailor on your side, you can rest assured that your bespoke garment will fit you like a glove. 

This is a huge advantage to buying bespoke clothes, especially if you find that off-the-rack garments don't always fit you. You're going to have to get them tailored to look presentable anyway. Why not let an expert create an outfit specifically for you with your measurements in mind? 

Some buyers have also been told that their body type or shape is hard to dress with items off the rack. If you've heard this before, then choosing to wear bespoke garments could save you a lot of frustration. There's no such thing as a hard-to-dress silhouette when it comes to bespoke tailoring — instead, you can have just about any garment made to fit your proportions and make you look and feel your best. 

3. You'll Have Your Bespoke Clothes For Life

Buying clothes off-the-rack — especially from budget-friendly stores — often means that your clothes won't withstand much wear and tear. One expert estimation has the average lifespan of a garment at around 3.3 years. But you'd rather invest in something high-quality, something that will last you decades or more. 

So much detailed craftsmanship will go into creating your bespoke clothes. This means that they look wonderful and, of course, that they fit you perfectly. But it also means they will be of the utmost quality — your bespoke clothes will last much, much longer than anything else in your closet. 

If there's some wiggle room in your clothing budget, then spending more on bespoke clothes is worth the additional cost. Yes, they cost more upfront, but they make a great investment, considering the fact that they last so much longer than flimsy, off-the-rack options.

Are There Any Downsides to Bespoke Clothes? 

The above are the three main reasons why you should consider adding bespoke clothes to your closet. But before you start having your measurements taken for bespoke suits, you want to make sure there aren't any cons that you've missed. 

For one thing, you'll want to look at your timeline. If you want a made-to-measure suit for a gathering this weekend, well, you won't be able to get anything bespoke that quickly. This type of craftsmanship and quality takes time — but how much? 

Custom clothes take, on average, two to three weeks to complete. You'll have to set aside time to come in for an initial consultation, as well as fittings along the way. So, if you need a quick turnaround, then bespoke clothes won't suit your timeframe. 

Finally, you'll need to consider the cost of bespoke clothes, too. As you can imagine, made-to-measure shirts cost a bit more than off-the-rack button-downs. 

Of course, though, you're paying a higher price tag in exchange for the best quality garments that you'll have in your wardrobe. So, the price may be a downside at first, but when you consider all of the pros above, you will find that it's worth it to invest.
