The tradition of monogramming began not as ornament, but as necessity. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most men’s shirts were white, cut almost identically, and sent to communal laundries. To ensure each shirt found its rightful owner, initials were embroidered discreetly — usually on the cuff or hem.
What started as practicality soon became elegance. Monograms evolved into subtle statements of identity, a gentleman’s personal signature stitched in thread. At BeSuited, we encourage our clients to carry forward this heritage.
A monogram is more than decoration; it is your story, ensuring your garment is not just bespoke in fit, but unmistakably yours.
