you need to bite the bullet and pay the extra money to get your suits made at home professionally.
I spent 22 years in the Navy and have been all over the world and had suits made in alot of countries. The thing I have found is that in most cases you get what you pay for. The exception to that rule I feel is Hong Kong. I have had numerous suits made from top quality Italian silk etc in Hong Kong that I would still be wearing today (if I could ever get back into them).
Good luck finding such a tailor in Bali. Maybe you need to take a trip to Hong Kong and get them done properly. You would save the price of your airfare and accommodation in your suit purchases.
Just my opinion. And I'm not knocking Bali! I just doubt that you'd find what you're after there.
