Bespoke Custom Suits in Chicago, Fitted by Vijay

For downtown Chicago and the Magnificent Mile

Whether you work in the Loop or River North, are in town on business, or are combining a fitting with an afternoon on Michigan Avenue, a private appointment is an easy way to meet. A small rotation of excellent suits and shirts goes further than a closet of near-misses. At your appointment we can plan a navy and a grey suit, a sport coat for less formal days, and shirts with the collar and cuff that suit you.

Many Chicago clients start with two hard-working suits — navy and charcoal — in a winter-weight wool, then add a flannel or a sport coat on the next visit.

Custom suits for Chicago neighborhoods and nearby areas

Clients come to Vijay from across Chicago — the Loop, River North, the Gold Coast, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, the West Loop and Wicker Park, and from the suburbs — Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Hinsdale and the North Shore towns of Wilmette, Winnetka and Lake Forest. Wherever you are, the fitting is the same: private, unhurried and about 30–60 minutes. For the climate here we usually suggest winter-weight worsteds and flannels for the long winter, with lighter wools for humid summers.

Weddings, black tie and the colder months —Custom wedding suits and tuxedos in Chicago 

Since 1987 we have dressed about 5,000 grooms. For a Chicago wedding, Vijay can fit the groom, fathers and groomsmen so the party looks considered without looking identical — see our wedding suits for men. For galas and black-tie evenings, we cut custom dinner jackets and tuxedos, from classic black to velvet. Tell Vijay your date early; timing is confirmed at the fitting.

What "bespoke" means at Rashmi

We don't adjust a stock block. Vijay takes your measurements and notes your posture and how you wear your clothes, and a pattern is drafted for you alone in our Hong Kong workroom. Your suit is half-canvassed, so the chest shapes to you over time. Because the pattern is yours and kept on file, reordering from Chicago is simple: send a message, choose a cloth, and we make it. Read more about what bespoke means at Rashmi: your own pattern, cut from your measurements and kept on file.
