http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bespoke was what my usual online dictionary said (made-to-order, tailored, tailor-made). Seems to derive from 'as discussed' ie (be)(spoke).

English" things. I've seen the term "bespoke" used in this way before, usually in reference to clothes. It has always sounded like it means something along the lines of "custom tailored". But I've never found an (American English, I guess) dictionary that gave a definition that sounded like "custom tailored". So, _is_ that what it means? TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
