There are many arguments in favor of a tailor-made suit, especially our body. Not symmetrical by nature, subject to a certain amount of change over the years, and anyone who suddenly starts to steel himself in the gym or stops drinking from one day to the next…
Let’s face it, there’s every reason to adapt a design classic perfectly to your own body. This is how we inevitably end up with Diehm Bespoke, founded in 2017 by Detlev Diehm. The custom tailor has a great experience. As fashion designer, product manager and creative director; in Germany, Italy and Belgium; at Valentino Couture Uomo, Fabio Inghirami and Hugo Boss; for Michael Caine, Roger Moore or Richard Gere.
From experience grows virtue: Diehm is an attentive listener. Before the 60-80 hours of work begin, advice is given, the fabrics are preselected, a style sketched, measurements taken. Three weeks later the first fitting takes place. It will not remain the last. After about eight weeks, what once began on a white sheet of paper is finished: your own tailor-made suit. And with it, the wearer’s chest is a little wider.
Detlev Diehm Bespoke is among many other manufacturers, retailers and restaurants part of Munich “Handgemachte Qualität”. The guide is our latest book out of the Makers Bible series. A compact city guide in pocket book format, which leads to handmade, genuine and passionate quality in Munich.

Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
It’s virtually impossible to miss Julius Brantner Brothandwerk if you’re a fan of baked goods and find yourself in Munich. The charming Swabian baker has recently opened his second location, the first being such a success. With his team working transparently behind large glass windows, Julius strives to make “honest and trustworthy handling of all ingredients and processes accessible,” he says. Unsurprisingly, locals and tourists flock to the shopfront to sample their aromatic bread and delectable treats.

The tailor-made suit is still considered the highest-quality and most individual version of the garment. German men’s tailors work in the awareness of covering a particularly wide range of the demands their profession places on them.
