@Despos I'm curious whether you, as an esteemed bespoke maker, would normally make pants with crotch gussets or not. (I recall handling some old Savile Row pairs with a small diamond gusset to avoid that "cross" seam at the bottom)
For a couple of years I have been slowly converting all of my trousers to gusseted. Since I do everything myself, and I own no sewing machine, the work is very slow! But let me tell you this experience gains me the utmost respect for the complexity of the human (lower) anatomy, and how hard it must be for tailors to hit that goldilocks of comfort and "looking good". Comfort standing is easy, but all-round comfort sitting (for me) is nigh impossible with any RTW pairs I've ever had. At least through trial and error I can asymptotically approach that goldilock zone, but it sure can get frustrating much of the time!
