That is a quality control issue, not an issue of tailored vs RTW. Levi's has it especially bad because they have hundreds of manufacturing facilities and they range from in-house to third party, rich countries (more automated) to poor countries (more manual), and have hundreds of potential denim suppliers even within the same cut style.
But most smaller clothing companies don't have those problems (or they have them, but not as bad), and this problem is one that Bonobos in particular has actively tried to eliminate. It is pretty easy to maintain consistent quality when you are small though, and it will be more difficult to do as Bonobos grows.

- saosebastiao 11y agoWhat I said gives you no basis for that assertion. It's like claiming that a company can't scale because it hasn't scaled yet. Scaling amazon has gotten harder as it has gotten bigger, but that didn't stop them from scaling.
