The clink of glasses in a low-lit downtown lounge sets the tone for an evening of easy conversation and unexpected insight. Vlad Xanthopoulos, editor of Vancouver Vices, settles into a leather banquette across from the man shaping Vancouver’s modern approach to suiting: Adam Cheung, co-founder of Bespoke Made Suits. Between them rests a simple question disguised by its elegance. What does it truly mean to elevate a man’s wardrobe?
Adam reflects before answering. “When it comes to a man’s wardrobe, few investments carry the same weight as a perfectly tailored suit,” he says. “A custom-made suit is not just clothing. It is confidence, elegance, and individuality stitched into every seam.”
That belief shapes everything that Bespoke Made Suits has built so far and everything it is preparing to build next. With a strong foundation in mobile, concierge-style tailoring, the brand is gearing up for a pivotal year in 2026—one that includes a major move into the wedding and bridal industry and the opening of its dedicated Vancouver showroom next spring. The timing could not be better. As couples pursue heightened levels of personalization and intention for their wedding wardrobes, Bespoke Made Suits is stepping into the spotlight with sophistication, precision, and storytelling at the centre of its craft.
What Bespoke Really Means
Unlike off-the-rack options, bespoke tailoring begins with a blank canvas. Every pattern, stitch, and detail is created for the individual. Adam describes the work as a pursuit of proportion and balance—an understanding of how the suit should sit, move, and support the wearer throughout the day.
Bespoke Made Suits currently operates as a fully mobile service, conducting in-home and in-office consultations for clients across Metro Vancouver. From measurements to fabric selection to fittings, the brand brings the entire tailoring experience directly to the client. This model has resonated deeply with professionals, entrepreneurs, and grooms who value privacy, convenience, and time.
For those who prefer a physical space, the showroom opening in spring 2026 will offer a dedicated environment for browsing swatches, exploring design details, and immersing themselves in the craft of suiting. The hybrid model—mobile services now, a destination showroom soon—allows the brand to meet clients exactly where they are, both literally and stylistically.
A Conversation Over Cocktails: Three Questions with Adam
As the evening progresses, Vlad leans in with the kind of questions that reveal the heartbeat of the business.
Vlad: What philosophy guides the Bespoke Made Suits experience?
Adam: We believe a man should never have to choose between comfort and style. Everything begins with understanding his lifestyle, his habits, and his proportions. Once we understand who he is, the suit naturally becomes a reflection of that.
Your tailoring process is different from many made-to-measure shops. How so?
We focus on reworking the pattern itself. Instead of widening or narrowing areas, we reshape the garment at its foundation. We adjust shoulders, refine sleeves based on movement, and reinforce areas that experience the most wear. It results in a sharper silhouette and a suit that lasts.
With your expansion into the wedding industry, what excites you most about 2026?
Grooms are investing more in how they want to present themselves. They want attire that feels ceremonial and personal. We are building tailored wedding experiences—group fittings, cohesive design stories, multilingual consultations—and the new showroom will elevate all of that.
Fabrics That Tell a Story
Fabric is where Adam’s passion becomes unmistakable. Bespoke Made Suits works with textiles from respected Italian mills such as Vitale Barberis Canonico and Loro Piana, along with in-house options that balance luxury and accessibility. Lightweight wools, cashmere blends, silk-linen combinations, velvet, and mohair tuxedo cloths give clients nearly limitless expression.
For weddings, fabric selection becomes a storytelling tool. Midnight-blue tuxedos, modern three-pieces, sharply tailored classics, or designs that complement the bridal palette—each begins with cloth that sets the tone for the day.
Innovation Meets Tradition
The company’s approach blends traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful innovation. Rather than relying on simple measurement adjustments, Adam and his team rebuild the garment’s pattern to truly fit the wearer. Shoulders are rebalanced, sleeves are shaped to match posture and movement, reinforcement darting prevents chest bowing, and double-stitched seams protect high-stress areas like pockets and crotch seams.
“The suit must look incredible, but it must last,” Adam says. “That is where a man recognizes true value.”
Preparing for a New Era of Wedding Style
As the wedding landscape evolves, Bespoke Made Suits is moving decisively into the bridal industry with expanded offerings for 2026. The brand is developing custom packages for grooms, groomsmen, and families, multilingual consultations, coordinated fabric storylines, and private group fittings. These new services will flourish even further when the showroom opens its doors next spring.
Couples increasingly seek cohesion, meaning, and garments that feel worthy of the day. Bespoke Made Suits is designing around exactly that—intentional design, high-touch service, and suits that become heirlooms.
The Final Sip
As the conversation winds down and the lounge hums around them, it becomes clear that Bespoke Made Suits is entering a transformative chapter. The brand is not simply crafting garments. It is shaping experiences, guiding men through life’s defining moments, and elevating modern wedding style in Vancouver.
For Adam Cheung, the mission remains unchanged. A suit should reflect the man, honour the moment, and stand the test of time. In 2026, that mission will come to life through suiting experiences built for weddings, celebrations, and every milestone that follows.
