We are the only real bespoke tailor in The Netherlands
What do we do?
De Oost is a bespoke tailoring atelier that has been making tailor-made clothing since 2004 for people from Limburg who want to tell their authentic story with their clothing and appreciate and attach importance to personal attention, crafts, craftsmanship, style and expertise (Savoir-Faire).
This craft is called bespoke tailoring.
Why do we do it this way?
In many cases, clothing is a soulless marketing product, but if it is made bespoke according to your ideas and values, it becomes a storyteller and gives understated confidence.
A personal clothing style is timeless and sustainable. De Oost believes that your clothing style is much more than a certain association or brand.
In our opinion, a well-made bespoke suit is the ability to convey a story and message by expressing oneself through clothing.

The benefits of Bespoke Tailoring:
Having a custom-made ("bespoke") suit made offers several advantages.
Here are 10 reasons why you should consider having a bespoke suit made:
Perfect fit: A bespoke suit is made to fit perfectly to your body shape, which ensures unparalleled fit and comfort.
Personalization: You have the freedom to personalize every aspect of the suit, from the choice of fabric to the buttons and lining.
Quality of Craftsmanship: Bespoke suits are handmade by experienced tailors, resulting in superior quality and finish.
Durability: Thanks to high-quality materials and expert construction, bespoke suits often last longer than ready-to-wear.
Unique design: Your suit will be unique, adapted to your personal style and preferences.
Comfort: Since the suit is made especially for you, it provides a level of comfort that is difficult to match with ready-to-wear clothing.
Professional Appearance: A tailored suit can convey a sense of professionalism and sophistication, which can be important in business or formal settings.
Choice of fabrics: You have access to a wide range of high-quality fabrics, including exclusive and luxurious materials.
Attention to details: Tailors pay close attention to details, which ensures a refined and elegant final product.
An investment in yourself: Purchasing a bespoke suit is an investment in yourself, both in terms of style and self-confidence.
Choosing a bespoke suit is therefore not only a matter of fashion or style, but also of comfort, durability and personal expression.
What is the difference between made-to-measure and bespoke tailored suits?
How is a suit tailored at De Oost?
1. Measurements: When the cut and the style of the garment are agreed over 27 measures and configurations are noted.
2. Drafting a Pattern: After the cutter has drafted the individual’s pattern, it is then cut out and chalked onto the cloth.
3. Cutting the Cloth: Follows on from the pattern being chalked onto the fabric. Each part of the pattern laid in order to ensure that checks and stripes will neatly line up.
4. Trimmings: After cutting, the linings, pocketing, canvasses, buttons and other parts of the garments are put together with the cloth in preparation for making.
5. The Baste: When individual parts of the coat (jacket) are sewn together ready for the first fitting.
6. Alterations: A new pattern is cut, accounting for any alterations noted in the first fitting. The baste is then ripped down, remarked using the new pattern, and re-cut.
7. Forward Construction: Structural work is carried out on the coat by the tailor in preparation for the second fitting.
8. After the second fitting: Further alterations are made and the garment is finished and pressed. Button holes, felling and edge stitching are completed, all by hand. The coat is then pressed before the last fitting. Clothing is then pressed a final time before delivery.
What does an appointment for your bespoke suit looks like?
1. Making Your Acquaintance
During the 1st appointment we will make your acquaintance and get personally familiar with each other uncovering your wishes and introduce you to our expertise and experience to inspire and inform you. Thereby, being well prepared is half the job done. Making it clear what you want, what it should look like and what you can expect from us.
That is why is of importance to fill in our intake form.
A golden opportunity to acquire inspiration is to bring along a suit you own and browsing blogs and pictures. Look at different fabrics, styles, models, combinations and naturally, the feeling a certain image or garment invokes.
This way you can clearly organise your wishes and demands and we can provide information an inspiration. Bespoke tailoring is 100% customisable, so do not hesitate to make your wishes and demands known.
2. Materials
The next step is making a selection of fabrics you like, but also provide the performance you are looking for.
A fabric can have the colour and pattern you are looking for but could be too warm for your desired use. De Oost provides a wide collection of fabrics and linings.
It is also possible to provide your own fabric, opening up opportunities to personalise your style even further by combining fabrics and styles.
3. Model
Next we will design a model for you which can accentuate or camouflage to your liking. This can be any desired style and model.
With bespoke tailored suits, anything is possible. Ranging from the broadness of your lapel, the shoulder style, unique pockets and unlined or unstructured construction.
Nothing is impossible as long as it is technically possible for our tailor to craft. Keep in mind, every car has 4 wheels, but a Ferrari is not a Fiat. We have many examples of models at the ready in our atelier.
Have a look at our range of possibilities to gain inspiration.
4. Measurements
When you have everything sorted regarding materials and model we will start with the blueprint of your garment which is the personal pattern.
Your measurements will be taken by advisors with years of experience in this field. People who know how fabrics, measurements and model relate to each other and how these can be constructed into a garment.
This creates a balance, on of the most important factors for those who wish to dress well. Broad lapels are beautiful, but when this makes your face appear to be too small we should think of something different.
When taking your measurements we not only focus on the physical proportions, but also your modus operandi e.g. that which makes you feel unrestricted and free. On the basis of these factors we decide the fit and balance in your garments.
What we view as too loose, you could see as too tight. After these steps we will start with tailoring your garment in the traditional bespoke way.
5. Fitting and Alterations
An important step is the fit that takes place after 4/5 weeks in which you will wear the garment for the first time. We will address everything step by step regarding measurements, finishing and fit.
This will be then altered in our own atelier and will be ready after a couple of days for the next fit. We document any alteration made so your measurements are always up to date when you have a new garment tailored.
After the alterations we will step in front of the mirror again and we will yet address every aspect again, and when necessary further alterations will be made. It is also possible to wear your garment first have them altered later.
Fabrics
At De Oost you can choose from over 25000 fabrics.
Naturally we will help you make an effortless and right decision.

Full Canvas, Half Canvas, Unlined or Unstructured. The method of construction has a major influence on how the jacket fits, your comfort and how the fabric falls and feels. It is therefore important to have some knowledge of this before visiting a tailor or purchasing a suit.
At Oost Bespoke Tailoring we can offer any method of suit construction and/or a mix of these.
This way you have a suit that is made exactly the way you want it from the ground up. Fun and useful because besides being very personal, it also ensures a suit that fits better and lasts longer.
There are basically 4 ways of making suits.
1. Full Canvas - a loose interior of linen with horse and/or camel hair. Very classic/British and very suitable for all types of styles.
2. Half Canvas - same as method 1 but the canvas extends to the bottom of the chest/waist. Slightly firmer in shape than full canvas. Personally, my favorite jacket of all time is made this way.
3. Unlined - no lining at all or in a few areas to avoid direct contact with the fabric. Very summery and Neapolitan. More for business casual.
4. Unstructured - no canvas at all and almost no padding/filling. A very light-wearing suit ala Armani. Suitable for both formal and other occasions.

This varies slightly and has to do with the type of fabrics and the model that needs to be made.
