Even for a top tailor, I've had issues like the sleeves coming out 0.5cm too long (so it wouldn't show the shirt cuffs and looked horrible) because I thought them having my measurements from my previous order would be enough, getting complacent and skipping the fittings.
I said this upthread. I'd avoid any tailor that can turn around a suit over a long weekend. You need at least 3 visits spread across a week or two to get it right. That applies to Savile Row as equally as it does to HK.
