How Customizable Are These Mtm Programs?

I am thinking about going down the MTM/BESPOKE path, but I dont think I have very good options here in my city (Brisbane, Australia) with regard to Bespoke.

The makers here seem to force to much of their house style on the customer and they seem to be all stuck in a late 70s, early 80s time warp.

I do however, have several MTM options available

Brioni, Borrelli, Zegna, Canali and Corneliani MTM.

Im pretty sure the first two are about $5,000.00 a pop.

So I would probably engage the last 3.

Is anyone familar with these makers? How flexible are the options?

I would probably want to get a jacket made with patch pockets and a 3 button rolled to 2.

you must ask the retailors about this. some mfgs use the mtm to only to enhance the fit of their garments. and will make only their signature styles.
others will make some basic changes in the style.
dont forget their profit comes from volume sales. the mtm is just an acommodation.
there some mtm mfgs who do this only. they can more in the way of changes as that is their only business. their garments are sold usually through independant tailors.
