How often do you get your clothes custom/tailored?

Me myself, being at the height of 6'4" with a waist size of 32" and an inseam of 38" (81.28x96.52cm), I pretty much get all my clothes tailored except the casual tops (that is USUALLY polo shirts)...but then again I don't too often go out of my way to wear button downs or want to spend money on a custom fit of medium tall. So about 85% of my wardrobe is custom made. And I'm talking jeans, chinos, khakis, other casual pants and even one or two pairs of fitting dress pants. But that's more out of necessity than out of want. Once I bulk up, I shall hopefully be happily be picking up clothes off the rack because sometimes is a real drab when the custom stuff I get is not NEARLY as exotic as off the shelf/rack stuff. So I live expensive not out of want.
How about you guys, how often do you go custom/tailor fitting for you clothing? And I know it would especially apply to you normally wearing suit guys.

Anyways, I like my tailored clothes. They fit great and look great.
@TD nah, I get the bras at a local sexy lingere shop. I never spend more than enough on the females, so I get their shit off the rack.
My Dad had a 28" waist and had difficulty in finding pants. He usually wore 30" that were sloppy big.

Most of my suits are off the rack and altered but I've got some that are made to measure.
You can take the old roughneck off the drilling rig but you can never take the drilling rig out of the old roughneck.
I’m 5â€10 w/ a 34†waist – so I don’t have much trouble finding stuff that fits well enough.
I also have never been big into dressing to impress – not that there is anything wrong w/ that – just not my thing/personality.
I'm not into fashion.
I don't go outside the house looking like a bum, but I don't spend a lot of money on clothes either.
I have two pairs of hand made dress shoes, crafted for me in London. This is not vanity on my part, more a necessity. My left foot was damaged in an accident many years ago. For my regular footwear I must buy two pairs of shoes, one size for my left foot and one size for my right foot. This is a pain in the ass but I can live with it.
On a business trip to London I discovered this terrific shoemaker. The first shoes that he crafted for me were a delight. I had him make me a second pair when I was in London for the 2012 Olympics.
I asked him if he would do work boots, sneakers, and winter wear........no dice!
@JabtheHut darn you found me out. Figured out my darkest secret. I'm actually...no wait I'm definetely a man. Can't a guy just reference tops to all manner of upper waist clothing *sniffle sniffle*
Esta- You're 6 foot 4? It's not too late, you can still be a NFL WR or a NBA shooting guard/point guard.
