I feel you. I wonder what it really is then? Just curious. I could have gone down the street and gotten one for a third of the price tailored, but that's with no fittings, made to measure (no pattern for me). This place made a pattern and brought me in for a fitting (which was important because I had them change a couple things, like make it a little form-fitting. I guess that was worth the extra money.
