It is off the rack, in that it wasn't designed for me, but I found a style I liked, got completely measured, and then they spent a week or so cutting a suit to fit me. What it means is, it fits ME, (as long as I don't gain or lose a lot of weight). The difference between really OTR is that you don't get the too wide shoulders or big gap between shirt collar and suit collar.
I am not saying Takeo Kikuchi is a genius, but the style, service and cut I got at a very reasonable price means I would go back again when I need to.
