About Us

Whitcomb & Shaftesbury was established in 2004 by Suresh and Mahesh Ramakrishnan as an independent company transparent in its manufacturing and committed to a deep belief in excellence and independence, underpinned by an artisan approach.

The core value of the company is to base everything on quality, manufacturing all garments in-house to exacting standards and maintaining total control of the product.

By creating bespoke designs and meeting our customers’ desire for individuality, we are participating in a new kind of fashion -one that builds connections between people, rather than just encouraging mindless consumption.

The theory behind suit making is simple: the best raw materials available, attention to detail and treatment of each garment individually at every stage of manufacture. In combination with considerable experience right through the entire processes, this results in exceptional results time after time.

Good bespoke is a kind of alchemy: turning customer ideas and measures and beautiful natural raw materials into something very special; achieving this quality consistently, and independently, is what sets us apart.
