Honestly, most people do not need bespoke clothing. OTR will do just fine.
The purpose of my post was to point out the type of alterations I had a need for and what Jaafar had done well. I've had experiences in the past with tailors who *should* have been able to perform a straight-forward, basic services but have disappointed. In my mind, there is a difference between services a tailor should offer and a tailor who does them really well.

Also, none of my suits are bespoke and purchased off the rack.
