Who We Are

My name is Rohit Bulchandani and I am the Co-Owner of Bunbury Custom Clothiers. Born and raised here in Raleigh, NC, I am on a mission to carry forward the storied tradition of sartorial craft in the Triangle area. I learned everything about custom tailoring from my father and business partner, Rajesh Bulchandani, who has over 50 years of experience in the field. Partnering with both local and international businesses, we aim to keep the art of bespoke tailoring alive in a increasing Retail and Made-To-Measure world.

Unlike other tailoring methods, Bespoke-tailored clothes are custom measured, hand-made from the finest materials and fit to perfection. Each garment is an original. Our customers have learned that craftsmanship, classic clothing and true quality are timeless. 

Our primary goal is to enhance your image and provide optimum comfort in a suit made just for you. We create one-of-a-kind garments that reflect your sense of style and personality. Whether it is for professional use or society wear, your hand-crafted wardrobe is in good hands. Call now and allow us to welcome you into the world of sartorial fashion.

The Custom Tailored Process

So Why Go Custom?

Firstly, it is important to understand the basic difference between a off the rack and a custom suit:

• An off the rack suit is cut on a general pattern and is not specific to your body type, which means that it has to be altered, thereby incurring additional costs, time and effort. One is restricted to the choice of fabrics, construction, and options available. Lower quality fabric and construction decrease the life of the suit over time.

• On the other hand, a custom bespoke suit is made from scratch to conform to the wearer’s body. Your measurements are taken and a master tailor creates a unique pattern from that, which is kept for future reference as well. You have a choice of fabric, colors, styles and details that you may want to incorporate to show your individuality. The suit is made from scratch by hand to your exact measurements.

Secondly, it is important to recognize the innards of a suit, especially the canvas of the suit, which provides the structure and drape of a suit jacket:

• An off the rack suit fuses/glues the canvas to the suit fabric. Over time (and after a few dry cleanings), the glue will cause ripples and bubbles in the lapel.

• The canvas on a custom suit is hand sewn into the jacket, allowing it to drape handsomely and not cause any rippling, despite regular cleanings.

Thirdly, is the character and individuality of the suit to consider:

• With an off the rack suit, what you see is what you get, and with the exception of minor alterations, you have to live with what is available.

• The customization possibilities are endless in your custom suit – you can get the cut you want, narrow or wide lapels, choice of pockets, lining color, button styles, and even thread color.
