How to say "custom-made" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- prenominal modifierThe general loanword for 'custom', covering 'custom-made' and 'custom-built': an item made or built to the buyer's specification rather than bought ready-made.
- no-adjectiveCovers 'made-to-order', 'tailor-made' and 'bespoke': the item is produced to order for a particular customer, and it is used especially of clothing.
Choose 「オーダーメイド」 for the made-to-order, tailor-made, bespoke sense, especially clothing; choose 「カスタム」 for the broader 'custom/custom-made' sense, which also covers custom-built items made to a buyer's specification.
