Maybe a stupid remark, but if you can afford high-end bespoke, why not just go for the best available, instead of the big names? I understand some are not traveling, so harder to use, but Nicholas Templeman is traveling to USA, correct? And he is, correct me if I am wrong, one of the best in the industry. I am sure the best would be to use 4 different makers, with their best shapes, but my word, NT is showing only the best of the best, in both shape, fit (as far as you can see on pictures and finishing. Not my range, if only, but still.
Look, for the bigger audience, not being completely autistic like us, i can imagine the big brands are an easy go, but if you are so close to the best and you this is your passion, use people like NT and your are done for the rest of your life.
I tried GC because I had good experiences with the RTW, some other orders, and some smaller orders (a MTO wallet that turned out very nicely.). I didn’t think this would go so badly and they had taken care of me up to that point in service and product.
So, it’s a combination of prior good experiences, expectation that a firm should have a modicum level of quality control, and lack of awareness of all the other options with timing, too
