>being off the rack without paying double/triple or whatever for customization.

I bought a suit a while back - they tailored it (pants and jacket) for <$20. This is "really expensive" if it is a $10 t-shirt, but not that bad if it is an $80 point-down shirt, and even reasonable if it is a $200 pant/jacket combo

That seems cheap for tailoring in the US. I don't really wear suits or even blazers any longer but, when I did, I'd either get them custom-made in Asia or extensively tailored in the US. Haven't done that for ages though.

I was mostly referring to day-to-day wear that's $10-40 or so off the rack.

I'm selfishly disappointed China's takeover of Hong Kong because it gives me very mixed feeling about getting suits from there. They do amazing work, but supporting them is, in a sense, supporting China's takeover, even if the shop had nothing to do with it.
