Very true. I was reading something on this forum the other day with people debating made to measure vs. bespoke. And while traditionally theres a difference, I think its one of those things that enough people start using a word a specific way for long enough the definition changes. I think thats where bespoke probably is these days. Enough people have used it a certain way that now it means the new thing.
Sadly, that was largely the conclusion the court came to here in London when the Savile Row people got together and challenged those King and Allen trouble makers! (Not that I'm likely ever to be able to afford to trouble the Row with my business, but.....).
