Katabitic are you a tailor or a "citizen??
I'm a dabbler. I've been learning pattern making and basic clothing construction over the last year, working on a casual jacket (a field jacket style to start with). I intend to eventually make trousers, casual jackets, vests, and the simpler, unconstructed tailored jackets for myself.
It's not my first foray into sewing - for years I made custom messenger bags and other heavy duty bike-related luggage (see Zugster Bags). it started as a hobby, and evolved into a part-time business that funded my other pricy obsessions (mainly bicycles at the time). One of my nicest possessions is a beautiful Juki industrial sewing machine. Cost as much as a very nice suit
