About Bespoke Menswear (Formal & Business)
More Than Just a Suit
For me, bespoke means more than picking a size off a rack - it’s about carving out a look that’s just yours. I care about how a suit makes you feel, not just how it fits. If you want a wardrobe that actually gets you, that’s what I’m here for.
How I Work
- The first step is a real conversation. I want to know your lifestyle, job, and what you actually like to wear, so your clothes work for you everywhere - boardroom, weddings, even if you just want some jazzy linen for brunch.
- Measurements? I take a ton (over 30), but I also watch how you stand, move, sit. That helps me make a pattern that’s yours alone.
- You’ll get at least two fittings - the first is loose and raw, the second is for nitpicking till it’s perfect.
Details Matter
- Our suits are built with full canvas and hand-tacked, Savile Row inspired tailoring for structure that lasts.
- Lapel roll is done old-school - what we call “kulti” (pad stitching), so the shape sits right, not stiff.
- Shoulders are soft, cuffs work, buttons are flexible and tough.
What I Make
- Premium tailored business suits, tuxedos, and Indian formal menswear like Jodhpuri suits and Bandis.
- Custom fit dress shirts in Giza, Supima or Merino, with collars and cuffs that flatter.
- I like linen even if it wrinkles - that’s character, not a flaw.
Conscious Fabrics
I use hemp, lotus silk, and orange fiber for sustainable men's formalwear. Mindfulness isn’t just a buzzword - it’s about making choices that feel good.
Flexible Experience
You can visit my studio in Parel, Mumbai for a chill chat and coffee, or I’ll come to you. I also do trunk shows for companies who want to upgrade their office style.

My Story
Threadsmith started with me and Ritika, just two folks in London, dreaming of more than clothes – we wanted connection. Think of those Sofar gigs, magic in small rooms. We brought that vibe home. 'Main duniya ghoomunga, naye logon se milunga' – why not build that here? Our studio’s not just about suits, it’s music, chats, and community. Representing India in Malaysia was wild. For us, every stitch is your story. We’re just here to help you tell it.
My Work
Artisanal Bespoke Menswear - We craft formal suits, tuxedos, shirts, sherwanis, bandis, and modern Indo-Western outfits, all custom-made.
Perfect Fit, Not Just Size - No standard sizes here. We focus on your shape, posture, and style for a true bespoke fit.
Conscious Craftsmanship - From Ahimsa silk sherwanis to Kala cotton shirts, we use sustainable materials and detailed hand-embroidery.
Studio Experience - Drop by our Parel studio for coffee, jazz, and a one-on-one wardrobe consultation. It’s personal, not rushed.
