ROOMTEN BESPOKE LIMITED

A bespoke shooting suit is an indispensable item in any gun lover’s kit. It is made specifically for the purpose of shooting and offers plenty of advantages that other suits do not. Why exactly do you need a shooting suit? What are the advantages it offers? And how do you find the right suit for you? In this article, we take a look at the answers to these questions. 
Advantages of a Bespoke Shooting Suit
Wearing a suit or jacket while shooting is an age old tradition that has continued till date and it is easy to see why. 

• A shooting suit offers you a lot of flexibility and does not restrict your movement. If you have ever tried shooting while wearing a traditional suit, you could feel the difference right away. A traditional suit might restrict your range of motion when you try to mount the gun in an upward position. A shooting suit, on the other hand, has a special cut in the shoulder area, which allows you to position, aim, and shoot your rifle with the greatest of ease.  

• It is a lot more functional than an ordinary suit. It has large pockets in the front, where you can keep your cartridges and other items that you need for hunting or recreational shooting. It has a high collar, which protects you from the elements. It is particularly important in a city like London, where the weather can be unpredictable and it rains a lot.   

• If you wear the same suit every time you shoot or hunt, you develop a sense of consistency, which is required for high level shooters. As you get used to the comfort and free range of motion the suit offers you, you will be to perform better than someone in everyday wear – be it in the shooting range or on a hunting trip.  

• Shooting suits are generally waterproof and made of breathable material. So, they can withstand harsh weather conditions and last longer than ordinary suits.   

Why Bespoke Suits?
Now that you have a good idea as to why shooting suits are needed, you might have another question – what is the need for a bespoke shooting suit? How does it differ from an off-the-peg shooting suit? There are plenty of differences, actually. Let us take a look. 

• A bespoke suit is made from scratch using the choicest of fabrics. An off-the-peg suit is something that you literally pick from a rack full of suits, all of which look the same. With a bespoke suit, you can choose the fabric, the design, and the stitching patterns all yourself. The tailor will also give you some much needed inputs, based on his vast experience, and the culmination of these inputs will result in a perfectly stitched suit that is just as functional as it is beautiful.   

• A custom made suit fits you better, irrespective of your height and body type. If you are taller, leaner, or stouter than the average man, a typical off-the-peg suit might be too small or too large for you.  

• A tailored suit means you can customize it anyway you want. You can ask for extra padding in the elbow area to prevent slipping while mounting the gun. You can ask for bigger, deeper packets to carry cartridges. There is really no end to the number of customizations you can add to make the suit more functional and comfortable to wear.   

• Lastly, there is a sense of pride in wearing a suit that is unique in every sense of the word and was made only for you. There is also a sense of satisfaction in knowing that your inputs also played a key role in the making of the suit, which is something you could be happy about.  

Finding the Perfect Bespoke Shooting Suit
You should have a clear idea as to what kind of suit you need. You should also consider your budget and choose the fabric accordingly. Since the suit is going to be custom-made, there is a lot of flexibility in terms of the color of the fabric, cut, design, and accessories. The suit should ideally be windproof and waterproof, which will not only offer you protection from elements, but also lengthen its lifespan. It should be made of lightweight, breathable material so that you feel comfortable to wear it year round.
