This tailoring shop makes made-to-measure service dress, blazers, ceremonial uniforms and mess kits (the formal evening uniform worn at mess dinners) for Army and Air Force officers. It also does alterations and fits rank badges, ribbons and name tabs after a posting or promotion.
Delhi Cantonment is part of New Delhi district. It houses the Army's Delhi Area headquarters, the Defence Services Officers Institute, large blocks of military housing, and Army and Air Force Public Schools. Officers and their families who live and work here need uniforms that fit well, often at short notice before a parade, a promotion or a formal dinner.
You need a master cutter who knows service dress patterns and rank rules, two or three tailors, industrial sewing machines, a steam press, a small shop near a cantonment market such as Gopinath Bazar, and a trade licence from the Delhi Cantonment Board. The hard part is trust: officers stay with tailors they know, so your first customers must get a perfect fit and on-time delivery. The Army's newer combat uniform design is protected and only approved sellers may make it, so stick to dress uniforms, mess kits and alterations. Check service identity before stitching any uniform.
Reach customers through officers' messes, service family welfare groups and word of mouth, and promise fixed delivery dates.
