About Bespoke Tuxedos & Black-Tie Attire
Why I Make Bespoke Tuxedos
I don’t do cookie-cutter suits. If you want something that looks just fine, you won’t find it here. My work is about making you feel like you walked straight out of a dream - you get classic style, but with a twist that actually feels like you.
What Makes My Suits Different
I build every tuxedo around you, not some stock mannequin. You’ll notice the difference in the way it fits - sharp, clean lines, and zero awkward bagginess. I’m obsessed with detail and love working with velvet, so if you want a custom velvet tuxedo that stands out, you’re in the right place. I get a kick out of adding handcrafted tuxedo embellishments - sometimes it’s glass beads, sometimes bold metallic threadwork on the lapel. No two pieces are ever the same.
Signature Styles
- Luxe Blue Velvet: Modern look, black glass details. Turns heads, no questions asked.
- Prism Riviera: Teal, classic satin collar, geometric beadwork on the chest.
- Gilded Onyx Majesty: Black and gold lapel, classic with a punch.
- Rud Avtar: Chrome silver embroidery, inspired by nature, shawl collar.
Who Wears My Work
If you’re the groom, or maybe you just want your suit to get as much attention as you do, I get it. My stuff’s made for big moments - weddings, red-carpet nights, and parties where you want to actually feel special.

My Story
Hey, I’m Arun Kaushik, the guy behind Forte. I started out wanting to make clothes that feel like more than just fabric - they’re about who you are. I mix classic Indian handwork with sharp, modern cuts, all made here in my Shahpurjat, Delhi workshop. If you’re someone who likes making a statement and values craft, my pieces are for you. I’m all about giving the modern man that edge, that confidence.
