A wedding is not one garment — it is a week of them, and a man who must look like himself in every frame. The house dresses the whole story.
Western and Indian under one roof: sherwani and tuxedo, bandhgala and three-piece, cut by the same hands to the same measure. It begins as a consultation, not an order — dates, functions, the family's part in it — and the wardrobe is planned against the calendar.
Silks and brocades that hold under a long evening; worsteds for the Western days; ivories that photograph as ivory, not white. From Loro Piana, Zegna, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry — and the Indian looms the mills don't list. Cloth is chosen bolt in hand, against the light it will be seen in.
The groom's measure is taken in one sitting and written down for life. Fittings run backwards from the first function; family commissions run on the same calendar. Tell us the dates that cannot move, and we will build around them.
Earlier than you think — two to three months before the first function is comfortable for a full wardrobe. Less is often possible; bring the dates and the house will tell you honestly what can be done well in the time.
Yes — fathers, brothers, the groom's men. Each is measured in his own sitting; the wardrobe is planned as one, so the party reads as a party and the groom reads as the groom.
Both, and usually both is the answer: a sherwani or bandhgala for the ceremonies, black tie or a suit for the reception. One measure serves all of it.
That is the job. Fittings are planned backwards from your first function, and the house keeps the final fitting close enough to the day to be accurate — but never so close that anyone is nervous.
