Tailor Made Suits in Delhi. Which are the good ones?
- Thread starter rite
- Start date
I don't wear 15-20k jeans.
I spend avg 5k on a pair of jeans, sometimes 3-4k, sometimes 7-8k. But avg 5k or so, not more that that.
On Tshirts I spend avg 2k and on shirts around 2-4k, avg 3kish or so.
The brands I buy if I shop in India are Tommy, Calvin, FCUK, Esprit etc.
If I buy from abroad I buy Diesel, Ed Hardy, TR, and may also buy 7FAM, Ralph Lauren etc. But I don't buy these brands from India. I either get them through a friend from USA or get them through shopyourworld etc. Many times I buy brands like Tommy or FCUK from USA too, because they are even cheaper.
The max I can afford for a suit at the moment is like 25-30k.
I have heard that Vaish at Rivoli (in CP) is good and deals in suits in the 20-50k budget. Any other suggestions?

Raymonds have a line where buying the raw material includes the stitching costs. The suit is machine made but exactly to the measurements that they take off you when you are ordering the suit. That could be a good option in the 20k - 30k range.
The ones I am currently considering are those from Tommy or Calvin. And sometime later ones from J Crew or Jos A perhaps.
Will regular Indian tailors will be able to cater to these international brands which retail their suits for 30-60k in India?
Will they be able to deliver better for half the price?

Don't just go by the brand name. Calvin/Tommy/Jos A Bank make average to crappy suits in the $500 range.rite said:
The good CK ones (called Calvin Klein Collections) retail for $1500+.
The quality of the material you get for $500 in India will be much much better than the $500 TH/CK suits. The suit style/fit will of course depend on how good a tailor you can find. They usually have samples. So visit a few tailors and decide which looks good.
J Crew make very stylish looking suits, but again, not worth the $500. (Especially in India).
Rite, unless you have a lean and fit structure the brands you are singing, will be really difficult to accommodate -- physically. They will promise to customize it but:
1. Shoulder will be too tight, or too long.
2. Length will be awkward and look funny from afar.
3. Back tail will not rest fine.
4. Overall fit will be shrunk fit, or oblong over lay.
With a customized tailor shop, they will make the fabric adhere to your fitment, and the 'suit' will compliment you, instead of looking like a brand tag.
You can choose.

That market next to / behind Rivoli in CP. Very well known for tailor made suits. They should have samples so you can see for yourself. Spent about 28k myself on one from there, quite satisfied with the fit. Looks great
