Who we are
Cut once. Cut for you.
Our head cutter trained in Daryaganj and Karol Bagh before we opened in 2008. Every pattern is drafted by hand, cut in our workroom and kept on file, so your next suit starts where the last one finished.
Suits, bandhgalas, sherwanis and shirts, drafted from your own paper pattern and fitted three times. A sherwani or bandhgala for a December wedding should be measured by mid-September. The first appointment is an hour and costs nothing.

What we stand for
Three things we will not change
Your pattern
We draft a paper pattern for every client and keep it, adjusting it at each fitting and each new order.
Fittings, not guesses
A jacket is basted and fitted on you before the canvas is finished, so changes are made in the cloth, not after.
A written quote
Cloth, making and extras are listed separately before we cut, and the price stays what we wrote.

Reviews
What customers say
Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
I have a dropped right shoulder and every ready-made jacket showed it. Theirs does not. The cutter noticed it in the first five minutes.
My sherwani was ready ten days before the wedding. They matched the threadwork to a swatch from my wife’s lehenga.
The trial shirt felt fussy at first, but every shirt since has fitted. I now order four at a time over WhatsApp.
New cloths arrive each October.
