Puttin' on the Ritz

[bluegargantua]

Hey,

So, for my wedding, I don't really want to wear a tux.

I do, however, want to wear something.

I'm particularly interested in wearing a traditional Indian wedding suit, a sherwani.

I'm sure there are tailors in the Boston area who could fit me out with one of those. But I don't know any and google is less than useless in this regard. Can someone point me to a good tailor (with an actual name and address so I can find the place)?

Thanks
Tom

Take a day or weekend trip to NYC and get one in Indiatown.

For the price of getting one made in the US, you could go to India and have 5 made.

Just sayin.

ours were made by Shama's cousin's brother-in-law, over in India.

I just flipped through the booklet from the Hindu Heritage Day expo my mother-in-law went to last month. only 1 clothing shop listed.

/me recommends watching _Monsoon Wedding_ and _Bride and Prejudice_ . the ladies are hot, and the fellas are studly.

sadly i checked (prior to the post even) and found that my good contacts do women's stuff primarily.

there are some indian clothing stores in the area, one located near 2000 mass ave in cambridge. maybe if you call them you can get a referral.
