Isn't a forum the place for this? Doesn't everyone have the right (within forum rules) to write what they want where they want?People saying something for the sake of saying something and wanting to be involved
If you get fitted for a set of golf clubs are they bespoke?
Yes.
Even back in the mists of time, 1500’s, it could be used in past participle, verb or as an adjective. 500 years ago the English language contained a lot less words, and pinching a word to use differently was quite common. As the number of words expanded so its usage became narrower but more recently, almost through laziness, usage has expanded again.
More recently we’ve seen “gay” and “woke” used very differently. Sometimes it irritates, and saddens, but it’s just a natural expansion/contraction/expansion of any language.
What can be of interest is to use an old English translator. For example, the word “aet” was very common 500 years ago. The modern version is “to.” Figure that one out…

Hmmm, I’d bet that cloth for a suit is specifically manufactured for that use only, I can’t imagine walking around town looking like I’ve come straight out of IKEA
Surely if you did that, you’d just have some bits of cloth that need putting together at home to make the suit
Jeez I hope it stops raining for you guys soon
36* in the shade here right now. Just going to do 10mins gardening, which leads to rehydration(cider).

I guess that's aimed at me.I’m more concerned about the people that think Language is set in stone!
It’s been fluid ever since we started grunting and pointing at things!
I've got a four legged pet, with fur, a tail, a wet nose and barks.
I'm going to call it a cat.
Is that fluid enough for you?

Can we stop with this please. It doesn't help anyone, it sends the thread downhill. No more barely cryptic posts, no more personal attacks.

Mid-winter in this hemisphere, so we're stuck with a high of just 25 today (might need a base layer for golf at the weekend)

This could be true for many cloths, but not necessarily all cloths.Hmmm, I’d bet that cloth for a suit is specifically manufactured for that use only, I can’t imagine walking around town looking like I’ve come straight out of IKEA
A fairly plain tweed could be multipurpose.
Any material in a tailor's shop could have the "potential" for other uses than clothing even though the intention is for it to be for clothing only.
But once it is designated for a suit for a particular person, then it is bespoke.
