The service

The sherwani is a different garment from a suit

A sherwani is not a long coat stitched like a jacket: it closes high on the chest, is cut to be worn over a kurta, and carries its own line from collar to hem. For grooms, brothers and guests at weddings in and around Visnagar, it is often the most important garment of the year — which is why it is worth having it made properly, with the fabric agreed before cutting.

The consultation covers how the sherwani should sit — its length, the closure, the collar, and how it works with the kurta beneath it and with the fabric of the occasion. Silk is the traditional choice; if you have a cloth or design in mind, bring it along and we will advise.

Style & details

What we settle at your consultation

Every option below is a decision made with you before anything is cut — nothing is assumed at the counter.

  • Length and cut

    The sherwani’s length and line are settled at consultation — they set the whole silhouette.

  • The closure

    The high front closure, from its style to how it fastens, is agreed before cutting.

  • The collar

    The collar is chosen to suit the wearer and the occasion.

  • Over the kurta

    The sherwani is designed to be worn over a kurta; the pairing is discussed at consultation.

  • Fabric weight

    Silk for the full formal effect, or a lighter cloth for warmer months and quieter events.

  • Buttons, trim and finish

    The details that finish the garment are agreed before cutting and checked at the fitting.

    A lighter option for warmer months and less formal events.

  • Your own cloth
