I was only able to understand fully the difference of a bespoke and tailored suit recently. This was when I’ve met one of the man behind the brand J. Recon Tailors. I always thought that bespoke was just another term of a tailored suite, but only able to learn it, that there was more out of just the name.

To simply understand it, it all falls down to the numbers of measurement done in the process. A bespoke tailored suit have an additional 25-30 measurement and the measurement process usually takes around 30mins+ to finish. It is like a higher version of a tailored suit where a so called bespoke tailor should be equipped with additional knowledge to fully perform it.

Parties and gathering is a thing here in the Philippines. It’s where we socializes and reunite with new and old friends or even search for a lovelife … am I correct? In the rural areas we have those Videoke nights or Barangay parties, while in the city, aside from the clubs, parties are mostly held in flats or building rooftops. But one of the major problems here aside from over-drinking is the noise pollution.

Noise curfew isn’t a thing here yet, but still, you don’t want a scene where your neighbors would be barging your door telling you to lower down your audio system.

Thus in places where in Noise Curfew is a thing, Silent Party was created.
