Hi all,
I will be going to Chennai, India for medical school, starting this summer. I was born and raised in the US but I am of Indian descent.
I wanted to get some bespoke suits done by Syed Bawkher in Chennai, I heard some really good things about him.

Indian bespoke experience (incredibly detailed and very interesting):

I will be in Chennai for 4.5 years with intermittent visits back to the States, so I will definetely have time to form a good relationship with him.
Couple questions for you guys:
1) Since it seems India sets high tarriffs for fabric, it might be more cost effective for me to bring fabric from the States. What is the best place for me to go and pick out items for this type of thing? Are there any fabrics you guys can recommend or books where I can learn about this type of stuff?
I have been reading "Style and the Man" by Flusser, but that doesn't seems to go into detail about fabrics. It is good for building up my basic knowledge about tailoring though.
2) What type of questions should I ask him in particular?
Thank you guys so much and take care.
