Looking for a tailor in Connaught Place area

colinlp2000 · Feb 19th, 2007, 02:06

Hi all my first post on the forum.

My wife and I shall be taking our first trip to India in a few weeks (on a package tour unfortunately). We have a half afternoon near Connaught Place on our first day and then a full day a week later. Is there anywhere near there where I might get a suit or two made within that time frame. If not how reliable would it be to get them to post it to the UK at a later date?

Don't know about the timeframe but Raymonds are the most professional and if they can't do it they will honestly direct you to where you can get it done in a jiffy. I should think they would be very reliable for packing and shipping as well!

Hi, thanks for that, Raymonds looks like pretty big company, I was hoping to find somewhere smaller. I have since found out that there are quite a few tailors in that area, so I guess we should find someone. I am just a bit worried that if they promise to send the suit home for me that once we have left the country we will never hear from them again.

There are probably a 1001 tailors in Delhi that could do the job. You could drop it off to the Rakesh near the Banyon tree on Ring road type

..... but for a rush job (with potential international shipment) I would advise to find the most professional service who will either can do the job themselves - or at the very least, give direction to a reliable outsource who can.

Found a couple of Raymond shops so I picked the nicest looking one (with a doorman with an impressive moustache). No problems at all, turned out they were closed on the day we were back in New Delhi so they sent a couple of guys to our room in the hotel for the final fitting. Picked the suit up at 13:00 the next day, perfect!

Cheers for the advice bro, much appreciated.
