If price were no option, I would buy custom tailored -- but assuming we're talking about online mail-order here, the tailoring has to take into account all the relevant measurements, not just the ones used for mass-produced sizing.
For instance, women's tops are usually sized with measurements for bust, waist, and sometimes hip. However, a whole lot of them don't fit me because I have unusual arm proportions. And it's impossible to know which will because there are no measurements provided for shoulder/yoke, neck, length, or sleeve length.
Without being able to customize all those measurements, a garment doesn't count as "custom-tailored" in my book.
