Made to measure · Since the first fitting

Midnight blue, not black.

Black cloth reads green under evening light. It always has. That is why every dinner jacket we cut starts as midnight-blue wool — and why ours is the only one in the room that still looks black at midnight.

What we make

Three things,
done properly.

We don't carry a catalogue. There are three garments we cut, and we cut them until they're right. Everything else is a conversation.

The Dinner Jacket

Peak lapel faced in silk grosgrain, no vent, single button. Trousers with a braid down the seam and no belt loops — a dinner suit has never needed a belt.

Midnight worsted · 13ozfrom ₹—

The Three-Piece

For the ceremony, and for the ten years of weddings after it. Waistcoat cut high enough to sit under the jacket button without gaping when you sit down.

Worsted / linen · 9–11ozfrom ₹—

The Wedding Party

Groom and up to twelve, cut from one bolt so nobody turns up in a different shade of the same colour. Measured in one sitting, at your place if it's easier.

How it goes

Four visits.
No surprises.

A suit that fits is not cut in one go. It is cut, opened up on you, and cut again. Here is exactly what that costs you in time.

Visit one · 90 min

Measure

Twenty-six measurements, posture read from behind, and cloth chosen in daylight. You leave with nothing. That's the point.

Visit two · week 2

Baste

The jacket arrives held together in white thread. You put it on, we cut it open on your shoulders and re-chalk it. It looks alarming. It's working.

Visit three · week 4

Forward

Sleeve length to the shirt cuff, collar flat to the neck, button stance set to your height. Small moves now, nothing structural.

Visit four · week 5

Collect

Pressed, bagged, and your paper pattern filed under your name. The next one only needs one fitting.

Under the cloth

The half you
never see.

Every corner worth cutting is inside the jacket, where a customer can't check. So here it is in writing.

Canvas
Full floating horsehair, stitched not glued. A fused jacket bubbles at the chest after two monsoons. Ours can't.
Lapel
Hand-padded so the roll is soft and returns after packing. A pressed-flat lapel is the fastest way to spot a cheap suit.
Shoulder
Natural, Neapolitan or lightly roped. Your frame decides, not the season.
Cuffs
Four working buttonholes, cut and stitched by hand. Sleeve length is set before they're cut, never after.
Lining
Bemberg cupro. Breathes in a Delhi May; polyester does not.
Pattern
Drafted on paper, kept on file under your name. Your second order skips two visits.
