  1. I think this is a term that never went out of style in the UK... but maybe got resurected in North America thanks to British TV content. Specifically, from Top Gear and Grand Tour, when they would on occasion talk about EXTREMELY exclusive fancy cars. Like the Singer 911, and one insanely priced and incredibly beautiful "enhanced Jaguar" convertible whose shop name escapes me now.

     

    Frankly when I heard it when younger, I had no idea what it meant. And in recent years hearing it on TopGear I had to actually look up the word's meaning!

     

    I am an American having now lived in the UK for over 20 years. The term is still used here in the UK on a daily basis, generally meaning "tailor made". You still see it in online and magazine ads etc and on shop fronts, for example, Bespoke Men's Suits, Bespoke Furniture.
