Bashir Malek
A suit that fits properly makes an ordinary man look expensive. A suit that does not cannot be saved.
I make suits, sherwanis, panjabis and shirts to measure, at my shop in Dhaka. I cut every garment myself.

The fit is decided at the shoulder, long before anything is sewn. Everything after that is adjustment. That is why I measure people twice and why I will not rush a first fitting.
I have trained fourteen tailors, and every one of them learned to cut before they were allowed to sew. A garment cut well is half made.
