Varma<\/strong>owner of Radiant Tailors, a quality tailoring house established in 1938 on the corner of Barrow and Boman Behram Road, just behind the Taj Mahal Palace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A question of time<\/strong> <em>\"Let's be honest: to make a made-to-measure suit in the right conditions, you need time. Of course, it can always be done in one or two days, but for a quality result, it's better to allow 8 to 10 days. This also means that alterations can be made if necessary. The same goes for shirts: allow three to four days. It's best to be wary of those who promise the best for the next morning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A question of money<\/strong> <em>\"It all depends on the fabric. Good ones range from 2,500 to 5,000 or even 7,000 rupees a metre (editor's note: 40, 80 or 110 euros). To make a costume, you need about three metres of fabric. Add to that the labour and, for 25 to 40,000 rupees (editor's note: 400 to 650 euros), you can get a good result. It may sound expensive, but it's nothing compared with London, where you'll be asked to pay \u00a32,000 just for the work. For a shirt, expect to pay between 1,000 and 3,000 rupees (16 to 49 euros), depending on the fabric. And beware of people who promise you less. \"<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A question of location<\/strong> <em>\"There are lots of shops that call themselves \"tailor\" but, in my opinion, there are no more than three really good tailors, plus one or two other well-established houses in the suburbs.
