I agreed. In my personal experience, I saw many many tailors would refuse to change or modify the way they constructed their jackets, including my late father. But me, a bespoke tailor myself, I do not hand padded lapels nor chest canvas, because I think that is not necessary, and also because of my bespoke price point too. But if in case, any of my clients ask me to hand padded lapels I will do it for sure and charge extra accordingly.
The silhouette and the fit of your jacket also depends on the way it's been cut too. Handwork by itself can't rescue a badly cut garment.
By the way, I set shoulder pads and sleeves head by hand . I believe that would be one of the most important detail of a good bespoke jacket.
Well, my original point is to upgrade some handwork. I never said there are parts need to be made by machine, but there are parts must completed by hand. In a better world, a tailor should give hundreds options to customer whether made by hand or machine. In reality, it is okay to ask more, but not good to ask less.
