Or an experienced micro-manager who knows exactly what he/she wants.
Maybe, but I've yet to see a micro-managed suit that looks as good as the kind of suit it is meant to mimic. Consider Vox's MBT suits. They look almost Neapolitan, but a few details give away the game. He's getting a great value, but he still relies on Steed as his main tailor, and I think it's safe to assume, given Vox's stated priorities, that the MBT is fairly convenient for him. Chan suits and my old Oxxford experiments also demonstrate the limitations of micro-managing. It's not just a matter of knowing what you want: you also have to know how to communicate that to a tailor, account for what you don't know, and get a tailor who can execute your preferences reliably.
