hey! just something to get you started on -> Men's Wearhouse.

granted its not a big help as you won't be able to buy anything off it due to the wedding being in India but they do have a lot of choice when it comes to cuts & styles, etc.. so it might help you decide what looks best on your friend.....

millionaire at kemps corner is something i (like most others from mumbai) frequent for my blazers and the deals.
incase you're familair with peddar road, the domino's building on the back side has this guy calpled impressions whose mostly known for his imports of casual wear, he has a shop next door for blazers and suits as well.

the section in which this thread is posted is "Shifting Gears".

gud to see that people are shifting so much gears on t-bhp that it beats the purpose of having "off-topic" section too!

Hi Manaa,

Like Manson suggested Millionaire is an excellent choice large variety and decently priced. You can also try More 'n' More at Kemps Corner opp Stephen Church.

try getting it done with a designer. I got mine done the same way. eventhough the suits are more expensive, they fit properly. more importantly the designer can hide or add bulk to the frame. (he added some bulk to me

)

regarding the colors too, a good designer will be of great help there.

Gang,

I want to get full suit stitched. I want something like salman khan and all those khans wear.

Ummm, in other words I want good tailor who gives fantastic styling specially in suits. Do anyone know good Tailor's who stitch fantastic suits in Mumbai. Also, I don't wanna pay extra ordinary prices.

Cheers !!!

typeOnegative · 22nd March 2006, 15:55

On the same note, any place where I can get good shirts stitched at reasonable rates?

Formal Shirts. No Salman Khan, Filmy types.

Note: At this rate, the "T" in T-BHP will mean "Tailor"! Guys, lets stick to automobiles as far as possible!! lol

At the risk of getting a slap on the wrist by a certain mod.. isn't the SHIFTING GEAR forum a place for ALL off topic discussions??

As much as I hate to disagree with you Rtech.. I think this time I have to
