Master tailor's hands precisely pinning and measuring premium wool suit jacket fabric during custom fitting appointment

If you are planning a trip to Hong Kong and want a suit made while you are there, the first question is almost always the same: how long does it take? The short answer is that men's suits at Rashmi Custom Tailors are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours, and women's suits take at least 3 days. The rest of this guide explains what that means for a short visit, how shirts fit into the timeline, and how to book so you leave with clothes that fit.<h2>Why Hong Kong turnaround is so quick</h2>Rashmi has been a bespoke family tailor in Hong Kong since 1987. Every client gets their own pattern cut from their measurements, and the work is done in-house rather than shipped out to another city. That is why a men's suit can move from fitting to collection in a day or two when your travel dates require it.We have made clothes for over 45,000 clients since 1987, including around 5,000 grooms. The process is the same whether you are ordering a first business suit, a wedding outfit or a few shirts to go with what you already own.<h2>Men's suits: 24 to 48 hours</h2>For men, a typical suit order is ready within 24 to 48 hours. Larry confirms your fitting and collection times when you place the order, so you can plan the rest of your trip around them.A sensible plan for a short stay looks like this:<ul><li>Book before you fly, so a slot is waiting on your first or second day</li><li>Come in early in the visit rather than on your last afternoon</li><li>Allow a full 24 to 48 hours between order and collection</li><li>Leave a little breathing room before your flight home in case a small adjustment is needed</li></ul>If you only have two full days in the city, message us with your arrival and departure dates. We will tell you honestly whether a suit order will fit, or whether shirts alone make more sense on this trip.<h2>Women's suits: at least 3 days</h2>Women's suits take at least 3 days. That is still fast by international standards, but it does mean a weekend stopover is usually too short. If you want a women's suit made in Hong Kong, plan for at least three clear days between your appointment and collection, and book before you travel so the calendar works.Pricing for women's suits is confirmed at your consultation. Suits at our Hong Kong shop start from HK$3,500 and shirts from HK$580; the final figure depends on the cloth and the details you choose.<h2>What about shirts and other garments?</h2>Shirts are often ordered alongside a suit. Tell us when you book what you need and by when; Larry will confirm what can be ready before you leave. We make suits, shirts, stretch polos, tuxedos, smoking jackets and trousers (dress, casual and stretch athletic) for men, and suits for women. With about 2,000 fabrics to choose from, there is room for both everyday work clothes and something for a specific event.<h2>What happens at the appointment</h2>Visits are by appointment only (no walk-ins). Our shop is at 12/F, Block A, Suite A3, Burlington Arcade, 90–94 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, about a 2-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Exit B1. Hours are Monday to Saturday 9am to 8pm, and Sundays and public holidays 10am to 6pm. Larry handles Hong Kong fittings himself.You choose cloth, settle the style details, and have your measurements taken. Because each client gets an individual pattern kept on file, reorders later are straightforward even if you are not in Hong Kong again soon.For a fuller walkthrough of the visit, see our <a data-mce-href="https://rashmi.com/blog/the-art-of-custom-tailoring--what-to-expect-from-rashmi-custom-tailors" href="https://rashmi.com/blog/the-art-of-custom-tailoring--what-to-expect-from-rashmi-custom-tailors">guide to what to expect</a>. Shop details and directions are on our <a data-mce-href="https://rashmi.com/visit-hong-kong" href="https://rashmi.com/visit-hong-kong">Visit Hong Kong page</a>.<h2>Cannot get to Hong Kong in time?</h2>If your trip is too short, or you are not travelling to Asia this year, we hold trunk shows in cities abroad. At our US trunk shows, fittings are with Vijay, suits start from USD 695 and shirts from USD 105, and shipping to the US is free. Upcoming dates are on our <a data-mce-href="https://rashmi.com/traveling-tailor" href="https://rashmi.com/traveling-tailor" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary">Trunk Shows page</a>. Delivery after a trunk-show fitting is longer than a Hong Kong shop order, so ask when you book if you have a fixed date.<h2>Book before you fly</h2>Ready to lock in a time? WhatsApp +852 9745 7058 or email vijay@rashmi.com with what you want made and the dates you will be in Hong Kong. For an overseas trunk-show fitting, use +1 202 751 1859 or the same email. We will confirm whether a 24–48 hour men's suit, a women's suit of at least 3 days, or shirts alone fits your schedule, and set an appointment with Larry on Nathan Road.

How Long Does a Custom Suit Take in Hong Kong?

<h2>Custom Suits in Chicago: A Hong Kong Tailor on the Magnificent Mile</h2> November in Chicago is when the calendar starts to fill. Weddings booked for the winter and the spring, year-end client dinners, holiday parties and the first properly cold mornings on Michigan Avenue. If you have been meaning to have a suit made that genuinely fits, Rashmi Custom Tailors is bringing its Traveling Tailor service to Chicago for three days: Sunday 1 to Tuesday 3 November 2026, at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, 505 N Michigan Ave. <h2>For the groom and the wedding party</h2><figure id="figure-psdwncpfppmugsrm2m"><img id="psdwncpfppmugsrm2m" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aPySxH0S24r5m0f9qgnXwU15wo5rno8enhBHsZMrgQrCElhybHOvvVMsrcVrRjQ.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/1aPySxH0S24r5m0f9qgnXwU15wo5rno8enhBHsZMrgQrCElhybHOvvVMsrcVrRjQ.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Since 1987 our Hong Kong house has made clothes for more than 45,000 clients, including around 5,000 grooms. A wedding suit or tuxedo made to your measurements photographs well, feels comfortable from the ceremony through the last dance, and stays in your wardrobe long after the celebration. We can dress the groom, and it is worth asking about suits for fathers and groomsmen too, so the whole party looks considered without looking identical. If you are a guest with a few weddings on the list, a well-cut navy or charcoal suit will see you through all of them. <h2>A work wardrobe for downtown Chicago</h2><figure id="figure-a5uu8rli1lmugstll3"><img id="a5uu8rli1lmugstll3" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/274Y4CsQKPe8BBKxNpOwBuxAELt2S49sViW3Bi9HHTIgoRwOUvg4q8ZkSk6ULbav.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/274Y4CsQKPe8BBKxNpOwBuxAELt2S49sViW3Bi9HHTIgoRwOUvg4q8ZkSk6ULbav.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>For the Loop, River North or a client meeting across town, a small number of excellent suits and shirts goes much further than a closet of near-misses. At your appointment we can plan a sensible rotation: a navy and a grey suit, perhaps a sport coat for less formal days, and shirts with the collar and cuff that suit you. Suits start from USD 695 and shirts from USD 105. Prices are garment from-prices, premium fabrics are priced separately, and we go through the options with you before you order. Shipping to the US is free. Because the appointments are on North Michigan Avenue, it is easy to plan an appointment around the working day, whether you are coming from an office downtown, staying in the city on business or combining it with an afternoon on the Magnificent Mile. <h2>Cloth for a Chicago winter and the holiday season</h2><figure id="figure-iwe8n5d7amugsv1cd"><img id="iwe8n5d7amugsv1cd" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/30mWPbyt0MfM9Z3Y41rAQJ33U3AfRQcPa82a18aCo4NIrwlQGCa8kkReYxXskRcd.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/30mWPbyt0MfM9Z3Y41rAQJ33U3AfRQcPa82a18aCo4NIrwlQGCa8kkReYxXskRcd.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>A November visit is a good moment to think about the colder months. Winter-weight wools and flannels are soft, warm and comfortable on a windy walk along the river, and they look richer under evening light. Deep navy, charcoal and darker, quieter tones read as festive at a holiday party but are still perfectly correct at the office the following Monday. If a year-end gala, a New Year's Eve celebration or a winter wedding calls for black tie, a tuxedo made to your measurements is one of the most useful things you can own, and it will serve you for many occasions to come. Delivery is normally 6–8 weeks after your fitting, so an order placed in early November typically arrives in December. If you have a particular date in mind, tell us when you book; delivery can be arranged sooner if needed. <h2>Suits, shirts and more, for men and women</h2> Rashmi makes men's and women's suits, as well as shirts, tuxedos and sport coats. Whatever you have in mind, the approach is the same: a garment cut to your measurements, in a cloth you have chosen yourself, with the details settled around how you actually live and dress. With around 2,000 fabrics to choose from, there is plenty of room for both the classic and the more personal. <h2>What happens at your appointment</h2><figure id="figure-ft1rsfqoejmugswjd9"><img id="ft1rsfqoejmugswjd9" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0GdblCXyAej6GS62Pa5rXgA4SP7fW8mw24uMTxaKGPJgqnmfYDy7NQC6Lv2Gp73I.jpg" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/0GdblCXyAej6GS62Pa5rXgA4SP7fW8mw24uMTxaKGPJgqnmfYDy7NQC6Lv2Gp73I.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Your fitting is private and one-to-one with Larry, the proprietor, who has been making clothes in Hong Kong since 1987. We start with fabric selection, so it is worth thinking in advance about colours and patterns you like; Larry will guide you and offer suggestions too. Together you settle the details of cut, lapels, buttons and lining, and then Larry takes your measurements, which takes about 30 minutes. Your order is made in Hong Kong and shipped to you. Delivery is normally 6-8 weeks,&nbsp; and it can be sooner if needed. You can read more about how our overseas visits work on our Traveling Tailor page: <a href="https://rashmi.com/traveling-tailor" data-mce-href="https://rashmi.com/traveling-tailor">https://rashmi.com/traveling-tailor</a> <h2>Book early for the three days</h2> We are in Chicago from Sunday 1 to Tuesday 3 November 2026 at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, 505 N Michigan Ave. Every fitting is with Larry himself, so appointments over the three days are limited and we recommend booking early.

Custom Suits in Chicago: A Hong Kong Tailor on the Magnificent Mile

De fleste tenker på dress når de tenker på skreddersøm. Likevel er skjorten det plagget du bruker oftest – fem dager i uken, under jakke, under strikk eller alene. Når den sitter, legger du ikke merke til den. Når<figure id="figure-40l6w7z61imugioxyb"><img id="40l6w7z61imugioxyb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/02Ucq4GY70SreE2qgj6b61LPXqUugSQxMSBDHOeDDInVYzu9Cs4ln2Il8qpFQZ3D.jpg" alt="Skreddersydd skjorte med button-down-krage" title="Skreddersydd skjorte med button-down-krage" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/02Ucq4GY70SreE2qgj6b61LPXqUugSQxMSBDHOeDDInVYzu9Cs4ln2Il8qpFQZ3D.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>den ikke gjør det, merker du det hele dagen: en krage som strammer før lunsj, ermer som forsvinner inne i jakken, eller stoff som buler i livet når du setter deg.Fra 12. til 16. oktober 2026 er Rashmi Custom Tailors i Oslo, på Comfort Hotel Grand Central. Det er en god anledning til å bytte ut hverdagsskjortene med et sett sydd etter dine mål.Passform: de tre viktigste punktene Kragen. En god krage ligger tett uten å presse, med plass til en finger eller to når den er kneppet. Den skal stå pent under jakken og se like ryddig ut når slipset tas av på slutten av dagen.Mansjettene. Mansjettene skal sitte godt nok til å holde seg på plass rundt håndleddet, med litt ekstra plass på klokkesiden hvis du bruker klokke.Ermelengden. Ermet skal slutte ved roten av tommelen, slik at omtrent en centimeter av mansjetten vises under jakkeermet. Ferdigskjorter treffer sjelden både armer og skuldre på én gang – en skreddersydd skjorte gjør det.I tillegg tar vi mål av bryst, liv og lengde, slik at skjorten sitter rent over kroppen og holder seg nedi buksen.Krage- og mansjettvalg En spredt krage (spread) er det mest allsidige valget på kontoret, med eller uten slips. En cutaway-krage er litt mer moderne og passer til en større slipsknute. En button-down-krage er avslappet og perfekt til sportsjakke eller strikk. Når det gjelder mansjetter, er vanlig knappemansjett med én eller to knapper praktisk til hverdags, mens dobbel mansjett med mansjettknapper gir et stille preg av formalitet til møter og spesielle anledninger. Vi snakker gjennom hva som kler ansiktet ditt, kroppsfasongen din og måten du kler deg på.Stoffer til kontoret Vi har et utvalg av bomullsstoffer av høy kvalitet, både til skjorter som skal brukes nedi buksen og til skjorter som brukes utenpå. Til kontoret er poplin glatt og sprø, twill myk og litt mer tilgivende for skrukker, og oxford solid og litt mer uformell. En liten garderobe med hvitt, lyseblått og noen diskrete striper eller ruter dekker nesten enhver arbeidsuke.<figure id="figure-3t6msc4kjfmugir0h0"><img id="3t6msc4kjfmugir0h0" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26K3Ui5RZjYotYoegAC2wbe3IEAprnlOiwQufuWHCHqLlBq1hSXrdnBg0BSqIkuu.jpg" alt="Skreddersydd blå skjorte med mansjett" title="Skreddersydd blå skjorte med mansjett" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26K3Ui5RZjYotYoegAC2wbe3IEAprnlOiwQufuWHCHqLlBq1hSXrdnBg0BSqIkuu.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Bestill flere skjorter samtidig Siden målene dine tas én gang og registreres, er oktoberbesøket en enkel anledning til å bestille flere skjorter på en gang: en rotasjon for arbeidsuken i noen forskjellige stoffer og kragetyper. Skjorter koster fra NOK 750, og vi går gjennom stoffvalg og priser med deg før du bestiller. Frakt til Norge er gratis.Skjortene klippes og sys deretter på verkstedet vårt i Hong Kong og sendes til deg.

Skreddersydde skjorter i Oslo: plagget du bruker mest

Most men think about a suit when they think about tailoring. Yet the shirt is the garment you wear most often, five days a week, under a jacket, a knit or on its own. When it fits, you stop noticing it. When it do<figure id="figure-sfoc4xyannmugiw142"><img id="sfoc4xyannmugiw142" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/02Ucq4GY70SreE2qgj6b61LPXqUugSQxMSBDHOeDDInVYzu9Cs4ln2Il8qpFQZ3D.jpg" alt="Custom button-down gingham shirt collar" title="Custom button-down gingham shirt collar" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/02Ucq4GY70SreE2qgj6b61LPXqUugSQxMSBDHOeDDInVYzu9Cs4ln2Il8qpFQZ3D.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>es not, you notice it all day: a collar that pinches by lunchtime, sleeves that disappear inside your jacket, or fabric that billows at the waist when you sit down.From 12 to 16 October 2026, Rashmi Custom Tailors is in Oslo at Comfort Hotel Grand Central. It is a good opportunity to replace your everyday shirts with a set made to your measurements.Fit: the three things that matter most The collar. A good collar sits close without pressing, with room for a finger or two when it is buttoned. It should stand neatly under a jacket and look just as tidy when you take the tie off at the end of the day.The cuffs. Cuffs should be snug enough to stay in place at the wrist, with a little extra room on your watch side if you wear one.The sleeve length. The sleeve should finish at the base of the thumb, so about a centimetre of cuff shows beneath your jacket sleeve. Ready-made shirts rarely get this right for both arms and shoulders at once; a custom shirt does.Beyond these, we take measurements for the chest, waist and length, so the shirt is clean through the body and stays tucked in.Collar and cuff styles A spread collar is the most versatile choice for the office, with or without a tie. A cutaway collar is a touch more contemporary and suits a larger tie knot. A button-down collar is relaxed and perfect with a sport jacket or a knit. For cuffs, a barrel cuff with one or two buttons is practical every day, while French cuffs with cufflinks add a quiet formality for meetings and special occasions. We will talk through what suits your face, your build and how you dress.Fabrics for daily office wear We offer a range of high-quality cotton fabrics for dress shirts and for shirts worn untucked. For the office, poplin is smooth and crisp, twill is soft and a little more forgiving of creases, and oxford cloth is sturdy and slightly casual. A small wardrobe of white, pale blue and a few discreet stripes or checks covers almost every working week.<figure id="figure-dr1l48cyzmugixjcf"><img id="dr1l48cyzmugixjcf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26K3Ui5RZjYotYoegAC2wbe3IEAprnlOiwQufuWHCHqLlBq1hSXrdnBg0BSqIkuu.jpg" alt="Custom blue business shirt with barrel cuff" title="Custom blue business shirt with barrel cuff" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/26K3Ui5RZjYotYoegAC2wbe3IEAprnlOiwQufuWHCHqLlBq1hSXrdnBg0BSqIkuu.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Ordering several shirts at once Because your measurements are taken once and recorded, the October visit is an easy moment to order several shirts at a time: a rotation for the working week in a few different fabrics and collar styles.

Custom Business Shirts in Oslo: The Garment You Wear Most

Når den første snøen legger seg over Oslo, har invitasjonene som regel kommet. Julebordet på jobben i november eller desember. Julemiddagen med familien, der alle gjør seg litt ekstra flid. Nyttårsaften, med skål ved midnatt. Det er den ene perioden i året da nesten hver uke ber deg om å se ditt beste ut – og da en dress som faktisk sitter, virkelig gjør seg fortjent til plassen i garderoben.<figure id="figure-bnoqi947xpmugj2ez9"><img id="bnoqi947xpmugj2ez9" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24c3CZuNGtERW3CJs13LXCtv3UwuKCVZ3JEEyf3yaiOMSHrJjG4fw1QzNCtz7qeu.jpg" alt="Skreddersydde smokingjakker i fløyel" title="Skreddersydde smokingjakker i fløyel" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/24c3CZuNGtERW3CJs13LXCtv3UwuKCVZ3JEEyf3yaiOMSHrJjG4fw1QzNCtz7qeu.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Fra 12. til 16. oktober 2026 er Rashmi Custom Tailors i Oslo, på Comfort Hotel Grand Central. Har du lenge tenkt å bytte ut en sliten festdress, eller endelig skaffe deg en ordentlig smoking, er oktober det rette tidspunktet å bestille.Derfor er oktober riktig tidspunkt En skreddersydd dress lages for deg, og det tar litt tid. Ifølge våre sider for Oslo og Traveling Tailor er leveringstiden typisk 6–8 uker etter timen, og det kan ofte ordnes raskere når tidsplanen tillater det. En bestilling i midten av oktober kommer derfor vanligvis fram mellom slutten av november og midten av desember – i god tid før de fleste julebord, jul og nyttår. Er julebordet ditt tidlig i november, nevner du bare datoen når du bestiller, så sier vi ærlig hva som er mulig.Hva du kan ha på deg i høytiden Høytiden gir rom for litt mer personlighet enn en vanlig arbeidsuke, uten at du må gi slipp på god smak. Noen retninger som fungerer godt om vinteren:En mørk dress i et fyldigere stoff. Dyp marineblå, koksgrå, en dempet mørkegrønn eller et hint av burgunder virker festlig i levende lys, men er like riktig på kontoret mandagen etter. Vinterull og flanell holder deg dessuten varm på vei fra trikken til restauranten i desember.Smoking eller tuxedo. Står det antrekk på invitasjonen til julebordet eller nyttårsfesten, eller har du bare lyst til å pynte deg, er en smoking sydd etter dine mål noe av det mest nyttige en mann kan eie. Den vil følge deg i bryllup, gallaer og mange nyttårsaftener framover. Revers i sateng eller grosgrain, sjalskrage eller spiss revers og en ren, tettsittende passform er valg vi tar sam<figure id="figure-sg7z7evetrmugj4gk5"><img id="sg7z7evetrmugj4gk5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/bde69hxv5jQCJtdFM7g7NhWEsUofBQQlCCCR7LPttmPQWyWDKJBrynW5ckYYRyqn.jpg" alt="Skreddersydd smoking med satengslag" title="Skreddersydd smoking med satengslag" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/bde69hxv5jQCJtdFM7g7NhWEsUofBQQlCCCR7LPttmPQWyWDKJBrynW5ckYYRyqn.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>men.En fløyelsjakke.

Du møter Larry, innehaveren av Rashmi Custom Tailors, som har sydd klær i Hong Kong helt siden forretningen åpnet i Nathan Road i Tsim Sha Tsui i 1987. Han spør hvor og hvordan du skal bruke plagget, og tar deg deretter gjennom stoffprøvene. Med rundt 2 000 stoffer å velge mellom er det god plass til både det klassiske og det mer personlige.Sammen bestemmer dere detaljene: stoff, reversbredde, enkelt- eller dobbeltspent, knapper, lommer og fôr. Et farget fôr er en enkel måte å legge til noe festlig som bare du vet om. Målingen tar rundt 30 minutter, og du trenger ikke bestemme noe på stedet.Slik blir dressen sydd og levert Etter timen sendes bestillingen og målene dine til verkstedet vårt i Hong Kong, der plagget klippes og sys av våre egne skreddere med grundig kvalitetskontroll. Den ferdige dressen sendes deretter til deg i Norge. Vi holder deg oppdatert underveis og hjelper deg med eventuelle justeringer i etterkant. Frakt til Norge er gratis.Hvorfor en dress fra Hong Kong gir god verdi Konfeksjon sitter sjelden riktig over skuldre, bryst og buksebenlengde på én gang. En dress fra Rashmi er sydd etter dine mål av skreddere med flere tiårs erfaring, i et stoff du har valgt selv, til en pris som gjenspeiler håndverk fra Hong Kong. Dresser fra NOK 4 500. Premiumstoffer fra de fineste veveriene koster mer, og vi går alltid gjennom alternativer og priser med deg før du bestiller.Siden 1987 har vi sydd klær for mer enn 45 000 kunder, blant dem rundt 5 000 brudgommer. Mange av dem kommer tilbake sesong etter sesong, og det er et slikt forhold vi håper å begynne i Oslo.<figure id="figure-jdttzh1054gmugj6k8r"><img id="jdttzh1054gmugj6k8r" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33TqoeAoaIDDOHjZjs9akSdjtpr5inONuQ3lILGT6bBFWGIzxjyB7BcD3j3OaaLO.jpg" alt="Hvit skreddersydd skjorte til smoking" title="Hvit skreddersydd skjorte til smoking" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/33TqoeAoaIDDOHjZjs9akSdjtpr5inONuQ3lILGT6bBFWGIzxjyB7BcD3j3OaaLO.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Bestill time Vi er i Oslo fra 12. til 16. oktober 2026 på Comfort Hotel Grand Central.

Skreddersydd dress til julebord, jul og nyttårsaften

By the time the first snow settles on Oslo, the invitations have usually arrived. The company julebord in November or December. A family Christmas dinner where everyone makes a little more effort than usual. New Year's Eve, with a toast at midnight. It is the one stretch of the year when almost every week asks you to look your best, and it is the season when a suit that genuinely fits you earns its place in the wardrobe.From 12 to 16 October 2026, Rashmi Custom Tailors is in Oslo at Comfort Hotel Grand Central. If you have been meaning to replace a tired party suit, or to own a proper dinner jacket at last, October is the right moment to order.Why October is the right time A custom suit is made for you, so it takes time. Our live Oslo and Traveling Tailor pages give a typical delivery time of 6–8 weeks after your appointment, and it can often be arranged sooner when the schedule allows. An order placed in mid-October therefore typically arrives between late November and mid-December, in good time for most julebord evenings, Christmas and New Year. If your company party falls early in November, mention the date when you book and we will tell you honestly what is possible.What to wear for the season The holidays invite a little more personality than an ordinary working week, without asking you to give up good taste. A few directions we see work well in winter:A dark suit in a richer cloth. Deep navy, charcoal, a quiet dark green or a burgundy undertone reads as festive under candlelight but is still perfectly correct at the office the following Monday. Winter-weight wools and flannels also keep you comfortable walking between a tram stop and a restaurant in December.A dinner jacket or tuxedo. If your julebord or New Year's Eve party calls for black tie, or simply for dressing up, a tuxedo made to your measurements is one of the most useful things a man can own. It will serve you for weddings, galas and many New Year's Eves to come. Satin or grosgrain lapels, a shawl or peak collar, and a clean, close fit are all decisions we make together.A velvet jacket. Worn with dark trousers and a crisp shirt, a velvet evening jacket is a relaxed and quietly elegant choice for family gatherings and parties where a full suit feels too formal.Shirts to match. A new white or pale shirt with the right collar and cuffs makes the whole outfit look considered. Shirts start from NOK 750.What happens at the appointment Your appointment is private and one-to-one. You meet Larry, the proprietor of Rashmi Custom Tailors, who has been making clothes in Hong Kong since the house opened on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1987. He will ask where and how you plan to wear the garment, then guide you through the fabric books. With around 2,000 fabrics to choose from, there is plenty of room for both the classic and the more personal.Together you settle the details: the cloth, the lapel width, single- or double-breasted, the buttons, pockets and lining. A coloured lining is an easy way to add something festive that only you will know about. Measuring takes around 30 minutes, and there is no pressure to decide anything on the spot.How your suit is made and delivered After the appointment, your order and measurements go to our workshop in Hong Kong, where your garment is cut and sewn by an in-house team with careful quality control. The finished suit is then shipped to you in Norway. We keep you updated along the way, and our team can help with any adjustments afterwards. Shipping to Norway is free.Ready-to-wear rarely fits the shoulders, chest and trouser length all at once. A Rashmi suit is made to your measurements by tailors with decades of experience, in a cloth you have chosen yourself, at a price that reflects Hong Kong workmanship. Suits start from NOK 4,500. Premium cloths from the finest mills cost more, and we always go through the options and prices with you before you order.Since 1987 we have made clothes for more than 45,000 clients, including around 5,000 grooms. Many of them now come back season after season, and that is the kind of relationship we hope to begin in Oslo.Book your appointment We are in Oslo from 12 to 16 October 2026 at Comfort Hotel Grand Central. To book a private appointment, call or send a WhatsApp message to +1 202 751 1859, or email vijay@rashmi.com. Let us know whether you are looking for a suit, a tuxedo, a velvet jacket or shirts, and which day suits you best, and we will confirm your time.
