Be Spoke suit

bespoke (adj.): custom or custom-made, made to order of goods (as distinguished from ready made)
The word is an adjective version of the word “bespeak” and refers to a client’s custom suit order that couldn’t be ordered by anyone else as it had “been spoken for.” This was at a time when most tailors carried very limited quantities of cloth and it would be unlikely that they’d have enough to make more than one suit out of any one in particular.
