I'd love bespoke trousers but sadly I am a small timer and thus I only own RTW trousers

Recently I found a RTW pair that to my eye fits and drapes perfectly

but fabric choices were limited

I would love to have more made based on this pair in different fabrics. Is there anywhere (I'm thinking a shop in Hong Kong) I could ship the pants to have copies made on the cheap?

I found some discussion of trying to copy a suit (consensus was that it is a bad idea) but that discussion seemed to focus more on the jacket which I imagine would be much more difficult to copy. On the other hand, it seems some have had success sending shirts away to be copied

Are trousers sufficiently simple to successfully copy?

Has anyone tried this? If so, could you share who you used, how the finished product turned out and pricing?
