Hi,
After 2.5 months of waiting and reminding that Raj had made my measurements in February , I finally was invited for the fitting. My pants were quite good and comfortable, although old-american looking. But jacket .... jacket looked awfully tight. I'm not a slim guy, have got wild shoulders 105kg of weight ,but no beer belly. Old tailor promised to correct the suit, but I had bad feeling that jacket is merely small for me. He "did" it in one month later. After reminder from my side again that 3.5 months has come I received my bespoke. It looks unproportional - quite loose pants and tight jacket with cross tucks- as if I made it when I was a child. So 900 CHF for disgusting fit and,I would say, very strange feel of fashion. Never again and do not recommend!

Dear SPB73,

Many thanks for your comments and your feedback. I know this is a long overdue response, but if there are issues with your bespoke suit, you are of course welcome to visit any one of our stores in Geneva, London or Zurich to see if you can correct them for you.

We value each and every one of our clients and we would like the opportunity to make this up to you.

Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] or on 022 816 3780.

Best regards

Hemanth Mirpuri (Geneva, Zurich)
