Short answer: a bespoke suit in India typically costs ₹15,000 to ₹3,00,000+ at our Bengaluru atelier, with tuxedos at ₹15,000 to ₹3,00,000+ and wedding sherwanis at ₹20,000 to ₹3,00,000+. The cloth and the construction (half or full canvas) decide most of the difference. Full table below.
Why Bespoke Menswear Prices Vary So Much
Ask five ateliers or designers what a wedding sherwani or suit costs and you may get five very different answers, often without much explanation. The reason is that “bespoke” and “custom” cover very different amounts of cloth, construction and handwork. This guide sets out the price ranges at Chirag Parmar Signatures in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru, explains what moves a price up or down, and shows how to compare quotes like for like.
Price Ranges by Garment
| Garment | Starting price | Typical range | What the range reflects |
| Wedding sherwani | ₹20,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Raw silk or brocade, and the amount of in-house Zardozi and Aari embroidery |
| Tuxedo | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Italian Super 120s–150s wool, silk satin lapels, half- or full-canvas |
| Suit (two- or three-piece) | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Worsted wool quality, construction and a third piece |
| Jodhpuri or bandhgala | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Velvet, raw silk or suiting cloth, and any embroidery |
| Indo-Western outfit | ₹15,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹3,00,000+ | Cut, cloth and embellishment |
| Kurta and bundi set | ₹5,500 | ₹5,500 – ₹25,000+ | Silk, cotton or linen, and hand embroidery |
| Shirt | ₹3,500 | ₹3,500 – ₹8,500 | Two-ply Egyptian and Giza cotton, collar and cuff details |
| Trousers | ₹3,500 | ₹3,500 – ₹12,000 | Wool, flannel or linen, side adjusters, rise |
| Express tailoring | Quoted per garment | Same-day, next-day or 2-day delivery | Subject to fabric availability and design |
Every piece is quoted after a consultation, once the garment, cloth and details are decided.

What Moves the Price of a Bespoke Sherwani or Suit
Three inputs change the figure independently of each other:
- Cloth. The largest variable. For wool, the Super number measures fibre fineness: roughly 17.5 microns at Super 120s and 16.5 at Super 150s. Finer cloth drapes and catches light better but creases and wears faster, so it suits a reception tuxedo worn a few times more than a suit worn every week. For sherwanis, pure silk, brocade and velvet cost more than blended cloth.
- Construction. A fused jacket has its interlining glued in; a half-canvas jacket has horsehair canvas stitched through the chest and lapels; a full-canvas jacket carries it through the whole front. The difference is skilled hours rather than materials.
- Hand-finishing and embroidery. Measured in artisan time. Collar-and-cuff embroidery takes a few dozen hours; a densely worked Zardozi sherwani can take several hundred.
Sherwani Price for a Groom: What Each Band Gets You
At the entry point, from ₹20,000, our bespoke sherwani in Bangalore is cut in raw silk with restrained detailing, often at the collar and cuffs only. That makes it faster to produce, typically one to six weeks. As hand embroidery spreads across the placket, chest and panels, and the base cloth moves to brocade or velvet, both the hours and the price climb, with grand ceremonial pieces ranging from about ₹35,000 to ₹3,00,000+ and four to six weeks of work. For how to judge the embroidery itself, see our guide to choosing a sherwani designer.
How Much Does a Bespoke Suit Cost in India?
For a bespoke suit, expect the cloth and construction to decide most of the price. At our Bengaluru atelier, bespoke suits in Bangalore run from ₹15,000 to ₹3,00,000+ and reception tuxedos in Bangalore from ₹15,000 to ₹3,00,000+. The figure rises with a finer Super number, full-canvas construction, a waistcoat for a three-piece, and hand details such as pick stitching and hand-sewn buttonholes. For choosing between styles, see two-piece, three-piece or double-breasted.
Full Canvas vs Half Canvas: Is It Worth Paying More?
We make both. A half-canvas jacket carries horsehair canvas through the chest and lapels, which is enough for a crisp lapel roll and suits lighter, warmer-weather jackets. A full canvas runs through the whole front, so the jacket moulds to you over the years and holds its shape through heavy wear. If a suit will be worn weekly for a decade, full canvas usually earns its extra cost; for an occasional reception jacket, half canvas is often the better spend.
For clients who would rather not visit the atelier, founder Chirag Parmar also offers private appointments at home, the office or your hotel in Bengaluru, and airline crew can order on a Bangalore layover.
Suit Stitching Charges vs Bespoke Prices
Many searches for “suit stitching cost in Bangalore” compare figures that are not the same thing. Before comparing quotes, check four points:
- Is the cloth included? Stitching charges are often for labour only, with the customer supplying the fabric. A bespoke price usually includes the cloth.
- How is the jacket constructed? Fused, half-canvas or full-canvas jackets involve very different amounts of work.
- Is the pattern individual? Adjusting a standard block is quicker and cheaper than drafting a new pattern.
- How many fittings are included? A trial fitting before finishing adds time but is where the fit is refined.
A lower number is not necessarily cheaper once the cloth, construction and fittings are accounted for.
Other Garments
Jodhpuri and bandhgala suits
From ₹15,000 for our made-to-measure Jodhpuri suits in Bangalore. Velvet and raw silk sit higher than suiting cloth, and embroidery at the collar and cuffs adds to the figure. Because there is no lapel, the collar and closure demand careful pattern work.
Indo-Western outfits
From ₹15,000 for bespoke Indo-Western outfits for men in Bangalore. Structured jackets, asymmetric closures and drapes add cutting time, and sequin or thread embroidery is priced by hours.
Kurtas and bundi sets
From ₹5,500 for custom designer kurtas for men in Bangalore. Cotton and linen sit at the lower end; silk, hand embroidery and a matching bundi move it up.
Shirts and trousers
Shirts from ₹3,500 and trousers from ₹3,500. They are the most affordable way to experience bespoke fit, and often the pieces worn most.
Starting With Shirts and Trousers
If you want to try bespoke before committing to a wedding wardrobe, shirts and trousers are the lowest-cost way to do it. They show how an individual pattern changes the fit at the collar, shoulders, seat and rise, and they are worn far more often than occasion wear. Many clients then build on the same measurements for a suit or bandhgala, which makes the later commission quicker to plan.
Sample Wedding Wardrobe Budgets
Using starting prices only, as a guide rather than a quote:
| Wardrobe | Pieces | Starting from |
| Essentials | Kurta set for haldi, wedding sherwani, reception suit | ₹32,500 |
| South Indian | Kurta set, silk kurta for the ceremony, bandhgala for the engagement, reception suit | ₹35,000 |
| Full wardrobe | Two kurta sets, Indo-Western jacket for the sangeet, sherwani, tuxedo, two shirts | ₹57,000 |
Fabric, embroidery and construction choices will move each total, so treat these as starting points for planning. The traditional veshti, panche or pancha is usually bought separately from a silk house.
Does Express Tailoring Cost More?
Express is quoted per garment. Cost tracks the garment, the fabric and how compressed the timeline needs to be, so share your dates at the consultation and the quote will reflect them. Express tailoring offers same-day, next-day or 2-day delivery, subject to fabric availability and design.
Keeping a Bespoke Wedding Wardrobe Within Budget
- Put the money into the main ceremony or reception outfit. It is the one in the most photographs.
- Reuse lighter pieces. A kurta set made for the Roka or Haldi often works again at the Mehendi.
- Match construction to wear. Half-canvas suits an occasional-wear suit; save full canvas for pieces you will wear for years.
- Concentrate embroidery. Detailing at the collar, cuffs and placket gives a ceremonial look for a fraction of all-over work.
- Choose versatile pieces. A bandhgala or navy suit can be worn again at work and other weddings.
Where Hidden Costs Appear
- Accessories: a safa, stole, mala, kalgi, mojaris, cufflinks and a pocket square add up, particularly for a wedding sherwani.
- Supporting pieces: the kurta under a sherwani, a shirt and bow tie for a tuxedo, or a second pair of trousers for a suit you will wear often.
- Travel for fittings: for clients outside Bengaluru, the cost of a second trip is worth weighing against a video consultation and a single well-planned visit.
- Alterations elsewhere: a ready-made garment that needs significant work can end up costing more than expected once alterations are added.
How Timelines Affect Cost
Starting early is the simplest way to control a wedding wardrobe budget. It leaves time to choose cloth without compromise, to plan embroidery so the most intensive work goes only where it shows, and to schedule fittings without extra trips. A very compressed timeline narrows fabric choices to what is available immediately and concentrates work into fewer days, which is why Express commissions are quoted individually.
Signs of Value Beyond the Price
When comparing two quotes, the cheaper figure is not always the better deal. Look for an individual pattern rather than an adjusted standard size, canvassed rather than fused construction for jackets, at least one trial fitting before finishing, embroidery worked in-house by hand, and a written note of exactly what is included. A garment with those qualities usually fits better, lasts longer and gets worn more, which lowers its real cost over time. Our article on bespoke versus ready-made explains cost per wear in more detail.
What to Ask For in a Quote
- The garment, cloth and construction, in writing.
- The embroidery included, and roughly how much of the garment it covers.
- The number of fittings and the delivery date.
- What is not included, such as safas, stoles, footwear and accessories.
