What was your first bespoke purchase shoes or a shirt? I’m leaning towards commissioning some bespoke oxfords but probably will get more mileage out of some bespoke shirts. Obviously will eventually do both but with the lead time on bespoke products in the 2-3yr timeframe I’m going to focus on one at the moment.

Sport coat. By the way, Clint Stoerner just started as a spokesman or some such. You can call him directly. Number is on Facebook.

You’re asking a bunch of night shift plant baws about nice clothes. They have their church jeans and boots for that.

Bruh. You can have a complete wardrobe hand-made in about a month.

I've worked in a white collar job for almost 20 years and I didn't know what it was.

I do have a pair of dress jeans and boots though

Of those two, shirts. I think custom shoes are more of a showstopper, but it's less of an "expectation" than shirts.

In general, I'd get a suit or two before anything.

Can't we just say "custom?"

That’s what I thought as well. However, I feel as if a truly exceptional bespoke shoe is a special as where a custom shirt is a dime a dozen. Although my buddy traveled to the UK for a Wil Whiting measuring and it is truly better than what most people will get in Hong Kong or Singapore.
