Sept 17th, 2018: The Manhattan
Since Trump gave you that huge tax cut don’t you think it’s about time to free yourself from those ghastly flying bus commercial
airlines with surly cabin attendants and rigid schedules. Go where you want, when you want, in a manner you and your guests deserve.
Why settle for a Bombardier or Gulfstream when you can move up to an Embraer Manhattan.
The Manhattan is as sophisticated as New York City style itself. Deep mahogany wood panels, brass and gold trim and rich jewel hues provide the perfect backdrop for adventure. Beautiful artwork in the entry includes a distinctive metallic mural, reminiscent of the iconic art deco mural in the Empire State Building. Guests can meet in the Cloud Club, a luxury lounge with décor inspired by the Chrysler building. The Cloud Club features a cosmopolitan style bar with retractable bar stools, vintage sconces and a mohair/lambskin divan. One of the key features of this gorgeous space is the panoramic city loft window inspired by Jean-Michel Frank designs. The Manhattan evokes a timeless elegance with touches of grand iconic style. Warm wooden flooring, rich accents and brass light treatments throughout the aircraft create a clubby atmosphere, ideal for the flow of cocktails and conversation.
For dinner options, look no further than The Crystal Room, an enclave that allows six passengers at a time to dine privately, in perfectly appointed style. The Manhattan’s Park Avenue style is evident in the plush divans and rich color schemes. Experience the splendor of a bygone era while enjoying the latest in advanced flight avionics and bespoken designs.
New York aficionados will delight at the Manhattan, an aircraft with design flourishes that reflect styles curated from New York’s top interior designers. Welcome aboard opulent luxury, exquisite elegance and rich experience.

If you have to change flights, the The Manhattan Transfer will sing your itinerary.
"bespoken" [emoji38]
I stumbled over that, too,
but...Just 'cuz it's a word don't mean they used it correctly.
Experience the splendor of a bygone era while enjoying the latest in advanced flight avionics and bespoken designs.
They're implying that someone said the designs out loud.
Wouldn't that be the audiobook of The Great Gatsby?
Or maybe all the passengers are blind.
I've heard that recently on Goblin Works Garage (British show on Velocity). From context I took it to mean 'custom made' or 'one off'

Right. So it should be "bespoke" designs. The adjective can't be put in the past tense like the verb can. You are not a "larged" man.
well, some times I get Larged.
I got the impression that
bespoken here meant
indicated referring back to
the latest in advanced.

Is saying:

Had a sleepover at the bartendress' house.
When it all started, I was larged. When it all was over, I was somehow ensmalled. And enshrivelled.
But, great fun was had on the way to The Ensamllening.
Great fun.

I just saw Bespoke used in some video about something. I think it may become one of those annoying words that has a huge comeback.
So, 'bespoked' means like a bicycle/motorcycle wheel?
Bespoke can just go back under the rock it came out of. I first heard it in the last year or two, and you are right that it is increasing in frequency. Somebody ought to do one of those Google trend word searches to back me up.

Now, change the date range to last 12 months - or less - and check in which subregion it's most popular.
"Bespoke" is something made by hipsters. You buy it at a pretentious shop, and they charge way too much for it. It's one level worse than artisanal.
"Bespoken" is the wrong word in this context. It's basically a typo.
In fact, here it is if you just isolate DC over the last 5 years:

Pretty remarkable and you are definitely in touch with lingo of your region!
It's a word that comes and goes with the economy. Custom, personalized fashion is something rich people pay for, and there is a lot less of a demand for it in a recession.
… I think it may become one of those annoying words that has a huge comeback.
Irregardless, its use will remain divisive.

Yeah, no.
The adjective "bespoken" means "ordered, commissioned, arranged for" and is first cited from 1607

"Bespoken" is perfectly cromulent in this context.
I doubt many linguists or english professors will be buying these babies. :headshake
As a peasant English speaker who doesn't hobnob with linguists or english [sic] professors, you don't have to worry about that. :yesnod:
So, 'bespoked' means like a bicycle/motorcycle wheel?
Is tricksy; because, "bespoken" means "engaged" as in "She bespoken for." :lol:
bespoken (not comparable)
(obsolete) betrothed or engaged to be married (compare with: spoken for)

I am a word geek of a slightly aberrant nature, and while this isn't actually a word, it absolutely
should be.
I am officially in love. :love:

Heh, that's a fun thread.
I'll bespoken tomorrow morning. That means I'll have to hand-set my alarm.
I will be besmoken a little later today.
Bemoken - adj - Stoned
Probably not much call for one of the these on your bizjet, but at least it would be in good company with all the other bespooky stuff.

Their marketing person needed to pay attention in class, that is a fourth grade vocabulary word.

It's a term I've always associated with the tailoring trade, a 'bespoke suit' being made to measure as against 'off the peg'.
It seems to have an honourable enough past:
Perhaps the most famous customer in the Benson & Clegg ledgers is His Majesty King George VI
The King had originally been a customer of the company whilst holding the title of His Royal Highness The Duke of York back in 1937, but following his accession to the throne Benson & Clegg were formally granted the honour of the Royal Warrant as his bespoke tailors.

Separated by a Common Language, Observations on British and American English by an American linguist in the UK, is an interesting blog:
Incidentally, if a tailor makes you a suit in the UK, it's said to be a bespoke suit.
In the US we'd say tailored or made-to-measure, which is perfectly sayable in the UK too.
Anything that's made to personal specifications can be bespoke.
Checking the web, I got "bespoke vehicles", "bespoke network solutions", "bespoke mirrors", "bespoke browbands" (for horses).
LINKIt just occurred to me that every public speech is also bespoke at the time of its creation (except that one Melania's staff plagiarized.)
Can't even drink my coffee without being bespoken to...
that is a better use of the word than in the Patio Room advertisement.
