Actually the ngram viewer doesn't really support the claim that it became more popular specifically in american english in 21st century, since the shape of the curve is very similar for british english. In the 95-2000 period, it seems that it's in american english that "bespoke suit" was most frequent, even if using longer periods, the usage in british english is globally more frequent, but the gap is smaller than the variations in time.
From what I see in the ngram viewer, I would describe the situation as somewhat more frequent in british than american english, and has seen a revival in use in both side of the atlantic since the end of 20st century.
As this article seems to be entirely about the definition of a word, oughtn't it be on Wiktionary instead of here?
The article literally is the definition of the word "bespoke". The article says that the word is an adjective. The history of custom tailoring is not relevant to the subject of the article even if you describe it using the adjective. This is a very weak attempt to justify the continued existence of this article so it won't be deleted as per the nomination for deletion. Senor Cuete ( talk) 14:05, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
A broad-concept article is an article that addresses a concept that may be difficult to write about because it is abstract, or because it covers the sometimes-amorphous relationship between a wide range of related concepts. Due to the difficulty of explaining this relationship (and the comparative ease of merely listing articles to which the title relates), editors often create disambiguation pages for such titles, even though there is an unambiguous meaning that can be discerned from the relationship between the listed topics. However, if the primary meaning of a term proposed for disambiguation is a broad concept or type of thing that is capable of being described in an article, and a substantial portion of the links asserted to be ambiguous are instances or examples of that concept or type, then the page located at that title should be an article describing it, and not a disambiguation page.

I worked in four sources, but I believe the article should be written in British English because it is originally a British term. I did not check my spelling; perhaps Johnbod can do that, and make sure the dates are in international style. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 23:40, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
I retargeted Bespoke tailor, Bespoke tailors and Bespoke suit from Bespoke to Bespoke tailoring. This change on 16 April 2014 turned Bespoke from a DAB to an article, but the redirects were created in 2011 and 2012, when Bespoke tailoring already existed. As far as I can see, Bespoke tailoring has never been moved or turned into a redirect, so I think they were just created to the less-specific target and have quietly stayed there all this time. 178.164.139.37 ( talk) 07:52, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Krullbert please read WP:COI, and avoid adding what appears as an advertisement to the top of the article. The coat is now added to the body of the article, although it is a near duplicate of an image already there, and probably not necessary. @ Johnbod:. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
If a card game requires a special deck of cards, as opposed to the generic 4-suit decks, such a deck may be described as "bespoke cards", even if mass produced and not exclusive in terms of price, materials or quality. Examles could be Gnav and Uno (card game) (where the first wikipedia article actually uses the word "bespoke", and the second doesn't). "Bespoke" could (I assume) similarly be used for any other product belonging to a certain class of products, but differing from an otherwise very ubiquitous standard. Now, wikipedia is not a dictionary, but is this usage adequately covered by the article? Nø ( talk) 10:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
