Bespoke Tailors in Vancouver

[SouthPender]

This is a two-part question.

1. Can members of this board give me the names of one or more bespoke tailors in Vancouver, Canada who are known to have produced work that would be considered good, or at the very least, satisfactory? If no such tailors are known to board members, does anyone know of Vancouver-based tailors who should be avoided?

2. Suppose I were to purchase some very fine cloth for a suit or jacket independently of the tailor who would make the garment. Is it true that any bespoke garment (assuming at least moderate competency on the part of the tailor) would be superior to a RTW, or even MTM garment? The fabric would be superior (let's assume), but does it follow that the finished bespoke garment would, ipso facto, be a better fit and just simply look better than the best I could do through RTW? I'm assuming here that I would carefully choose a silhouette and style that I liked before the tailor made the pattern. Or is the reality that the finished garment could be inferior to a good RTW suit/jacket in fit and quality of construction?

The corollary question is: Is it necessary to trust the job to only a well-known tailor with a reputation for excellence?
