Bellinger will be presenting a lecture on November 15th for the Doyle+Design series at Doyle New York: "Founded by furniture artist Barney Bellinger, Sampson Bog Studio is more than a rustic furniture manufacturer. It is an art studio where bark, twigs and natural materials are gathered into the hands of an individual inspired by the romance and mystery of logging trails, wildlife refuges, fly fishing sites, and the Great Camps of the Adirondacks. Mr. Bellinger's understanding of various woods is part book-learned and part inherited wisdom from a grandfather who worked in lumber camps in the early 1900s and spent cherished time in later years sharing secrets of the woods. Furniture created by Mr. Bellinger has been exhibited at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Adirondack Museum, and the Ralph Kylloe Gallery, and appears in the permanent collections of the Orvis Company and the Smithsonian Institution."

Term used for custom-made suits, shirts and shoes. Journalist Peter Howarth it thus: "In brief, the elements that go into making a pukka bespoke product: you start from scratch with measuring sessions, individual patterns are created, horsehair canvasses for inside the garment are washed, softened and hand-shaped over the knee, there's a great deal of hand-making, three fittings, six to 10 weeks waiting time, 65.5 manufacturing hours and a price tag of about Pounds 2,750 for a two-piece. Personal tailoring, on the other hand, is where you take an existing garment and make a version of it, largely by machine to the customer's specifications. You can change fabrics and linings and details and in four to six weeks have a pretty special result starting at that magical Pounds 695 for a two-piece." (Tailored to a Suitable Price, Financial Times, 27 November 2004.)
Further amplification is provided by Ray A. Smith in his A Real Savile Row, Wall Street Journal, April14-15, 2007. "William Skinner worries that customers will think that made-to-measure, which typically involves using a stock pattern that is then adjusted to fit the client's measurements and taste, is the same thing as bespoke or custom...Custom suits are made entirely from scratch - mostly by hand, in a process that can take at least two or three fittings and at least eight weeks. More than 20 measurements are taken for a besopke garment."
Thomas Mahon provides much helpful information on his website, English Cut. See, in particular, his What is Bespoke?.
