Huntsman has that option as well. All of the cutting and pattern drafting is done in NY or London but actual assembly is done in China. China assembled bespoke suit starts at $5000 while London assembled suit starts at $8000.
See, that's what I don't get. If I'm spending $5000, might as well go up to $8000 for the real thing. I understand the purpose is to net in the customers who may not be able to afford the bespoke option, but it's not that much of a difference.
I once had a piece of advice from someone much older and wiser than me at the time, who said: "One day, you'll realize that $100 is not a lot of money." And it really isn't these days. Just cutting out the Starbucks and making coffee at home with a French press saves around $2000 per year. Nearly enough to afford bespoke.
