i stumbled upon this thread when i thought may be i could try and google to find someone really good in Pindi/Isloo...
first of all to all those posting names of all the unknown and easy to get tailors please dont post these messages and pollute the thread because BEST MEANS BEST (cost doesn't matter any more when you are looking for the best) so please post only if it is The Best... not just best for you...
coming to the point... i am on this search to get my wedding suit stitched... of course i consulted my dad (who knows pindi/islamabad from inside out)
He hasn't had his suits stitched from here i.e. Pindi/Islamabad for quite some time now... Anyways, following were three names that he mentioned to be the best (the best at least 20 yrs back)...
1. Inayat Shah (Bank Road, Sadar, RWP)
the guy was a true master of his trade and was European trained... he was so good that suits made by him got featured in 70's fashion magazines in Europe... sadly he died in the 80s and his sons tried to carry forward his legacy... they were able to continue his name until the last of Inayat Shah's self trained tailor... eventually the shop was wrapped up in 2012 (last bit of the story i managed to extract from an old shopkeeper on bank road on my suit tailor hunt).. even the sons used to charge Rs.10,000 back in mid nineties for a suit! but the suits they used to stitch truly had life in them...
2. Jabbar Tailors (Bank Road, Sadar, RWP)
Still there opposite Gakkhar plaza, have to try it myself before passing any judgements...
3. Jalandhar Tailors (Sadar, RWP)
couldnt find them...
So far in my suit hunt i have been directed to Wazir tailors (Islamabad) by a number of people... HOWEVER, i just had FOUR suits made from them and i've found them to be slightly better than ordinary...
Zeitgeist (have seen their suits, they are fine too but not the best), Men's Store etc are also some options... but since it would be my wedding suit i would love to get some help from someone who can really testify for the tailor they recommend!
Thanks
