tailormade

Made specifically for

Tailormade (also tailor-made) describes something custom-fitted or designed for a specific purpose or person.

A tailormade suit is cut to your exact measurements, unlike off-the-rack clothing.

The term extends beyond clothing: The job seemed tailormade for her.

As a noun, a tailormade is a factory-produced cigarette, as opposed to a hand-rolled one.
