Bespoke material old duke ordered (6-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tailor-made

'bespoke' is the definition.
(I know that bespoke can be written as tailor-made)

'material old duke ordered' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'material'+'o'+'d'='materialod'
'materialod' anagrammed gives 'TAILOR-MADE'.

(Other definitions for tailor-made that I've seen before include "Designed specially" , "Created for a particular purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
