I bought a bespoke jacket from a company in Scotland. I have an athletic build and they ignored some additional sizing information I gave them that I knew, from other tailoring jobs, they would need. The jacket arrived, including a customs charge based on the "value" of the jacket. I had to send the jacket back indicating that it did not fit and requested a re-cut. The vendor gladly complied and re-sent the jacket, but put the same value as before, rather than a nominal value to indicate work performed (even though it was free). As a result, I had to pay ANOTHER $80 customs charge when the jacket arrived inspite of my protests and explanation to the gov't authority. So, all bespoke clothing I purchase, I buy from the good ol' U.S.
