Regardless, no mass-produced clothing ever fits me. If I had the money, I'd have my stuff tailor-made.

  You can take off-the-shelf clothes to your local tailor to have it tailored to your body. It cost ~$10-15 per garment. A lot less expensive then tailor-making an entire garment.

Unless you're referring to historical prices, I'm not sure where those numbers are coming from. For US/UK prices, good tailoring of something RTW, if it can be done at all, would cost at least 10 times that amount; even something as simple as hemming trousers could cost more that that. And some things are not usually altered, eg, even bespoke shirtmakers usually make new shirts with adjustments after doing fittings rather than altering ones they have made.

  My dad was sent to some developing country on a business trip. While there he bought a tailor made suit for fairly cheap - he wore that suit every day for several decades. It was more comfortable than the jeans/t-shirt most people wear. I don't remember which country, but I'm pretty sure we would call it a developed country today so probably not worth going there today. Still if you get an opportunity to travel you can find tailors in some countries that do great work for cheap. (and also rip offs that do terrible work for high prices)
