I just got a pair of my favorite Lanvin trousers duplicated at a tailor called Tai Pan Row in the IFC. They did a great job. I used Loro Piana Super 130 "The Wave" Wool / Silk blend. Tai Pan Row is pretty reasonably priced, and I would think less than WW Chan or A-Man. They have a sale on right now for 20-30% off. Check them out.

If suits fit you off the rack like a glove, then bespoke can be slow and cumbersome but for me at 6foot3, 165lbs, it's hard finding a great selection in the 40L, 42L sizings.
The appointment I had with Chan last month went pretty well. The tailor (Patrick) was very knowledgable. Hope this suit comes out well as at $1k it will be 1/2 to 1/3 the price of off the rack.
