That makes sense to me.

This also touches on a distinction among made to measure options:

1. There is MTM where (a) a salesmen or other fitter measures you and (b) someone remote adjusts the block pattern and then that person or others makes the garment and then (c) it is delivered, either complete or for reprocessing throught steps (a) and (b).

2. There is MTM where (a) the person who measures you then alters the block pattern himself or herself and sends the specifications on to (b) a remote maker or makers who produce the garment and then (c) it is delivered, either complete or for reprocessing thought steps (a) and (b).

Method number two is often offered as a lower priced option by makers who have bespoke garments as their main line. Method number one is the typical process in the retail of big brand MTM.

Method number two also overlaps with a lot of wares offered as bespoke, in my opinion: block patterns that are modified.

Regardless, if Matuozzo bespoke in NYC/London is going to feature additions based on the tailor's cut, etc., I was just trying to take a page from the book you and matt are writing and be snarky.

Can someone provide details on the book mentioned by RJman? Manton?

Thanks in advance!

If they are E 380 now, that's already close to $600. Then you have to add in the London guy's cut, and also the travel expenses.
