In Santa Barbara you work directly with Vijay, who does every Rashmi fitting in the US himself. Rashmi has been making garments in-house in Hong Kong since 1987, and you can choose from about 2,000 fabrics, including cloth from Zegna, Loro Piana and Dormeuil. We make suits, sport coats, trousers, tuxedos and shirts for work, weddings, travel and every day.

For Santa Barbara and the Central Coast
Whether you work downtown on State Street, live in Montecito, Goleta or Carpinteria, or travel the Central Coast between Ventura and the Santa Ynez Valley, a small, versatile wardrobe beats a closet of near-misses. At your appointment we can plan a soft navy blazer, a lighter suit that works with or without a tie, and shirts that look right open-collared.
Santa Barbara's mild, coastal climate means cool mornings, sunny afternoons and breezy evenings rather than real extremes. Linen blends, cotton, and light, unstructured wools suit most days, with a mid-weight jacket for evenings by the water. Many Santa Barbara clients start with a blazer and one lighter suit, then add shirts on the next visit.
Weddings, black tie and formal evenings — Custom wedding suits and tuxedos in Santa Barbara
Since 1987 we have dressed more than 45,000 clients, including about 5,000 grooms. Ask about a wedding suit or tuxedo for you, and about suits for fathers or groomsmen so the party looks considered without looking identical. Garden, vineyard and coastal weddings are common on the Central Coast — tell us the setting so we can suggest cloth that looks sharp outdoors.
For a wedding, book early: tell Vijay the date and we'll plan the order so the groom, fathers and groomsmen are dressed in time. Message us to be told when Santa Barbara dates are next posted.
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 Santa Barbara is simple: send a message, choose a cloth, and we make it.

How the Santa Barbara fitting works
Every fitting is with Vijay. You choose cloth from about 2,000 options, settle the details of cut and finish, then he takes your measurements (about 30 minutes). Your pattern stays on file for reorders. Orders are made in Hong Kong and shipped to you. Delivery timing depends on the garment and will be confirmed for your order at the fitting. Shipping to the US is free.
