WHAT IS BESPOKE CLOTHING?
The term “bespoke,” dating back to 18th-century England, literally meant that a selection of fabric was ‘bespoken for’ a customer. Today, the term refers to a garment that is custom made for a customer without the use of a pre-existing pattern. At Alton Lane, we begin cutting the fabric for your garment only once your order is placed and your specific measurements are confirmed. {via Alton Lane website}
On Saturday, December 13, Alton Lane will start their 12 Days of Christmas promotion, with a new promotion announced everyday for 12 days. These promotions will be a great time to shop for yourself or that gentleman in your life, with an average percentage of 30% off or higher on each of the days that the sale occurs. Look at those gorgeous tweeds and plaids below – know anyone who needs a Harris tweed suit or maybe a sport coat for these cooler months?
If you are more pressed for time, consider browsing the Alton Lane online shop for basic, off-the-rack clothes in some of the finest global fabrics.

A great present for the man in your life!
Wow the store looks so cool!
It is SUCH a great space! Really really neat. I am a big fan of them being in RVA.
The perfect present for any man! Although I kind-of want to know if they'll make me some work suits, too… love tweed.
Hmm I might just have to stop here for that special someone in my life 😉
You certainly should – and your Dad would probably love this place, too!
