Probably not really right for PTO, to be honest. This is kind of a niche project for bespoke customers, and only a few readers there order bespoke. Besides, it would be a private pet project and not really right for a site that I work for.

To be honest, with the new Fresco III quality, I think most people should just look into that. It's nice (I've seen it in person). 510235 is a 8/9 oz cloth and a bit light, but 510263 is a heavier 9/10 weight. Color would make for a great suit or sport coat.
This was my mindset as well, but, in any event, I'm happy to try and move forward with this run if there is interest.

Pardon my ignorance, but after y'all receive this fabric, is the plan to take it to a local tailor and have them create a bespoke suit? If so, can anyone provide a obviously very rough estimate of what their tailor charges?

Yes, but the estimated cost really can't be honestly told. You could run the gamut from sub $1000 to probably somewhere approaching $7000 or more...

My plan would to either do bespoke (if feasible) or do CMT MTM - aka use a retailer who will make a suit/SC for you using cloth you provide
