Here at Vanguard we have over 6000 fabrics for you to choose from, the variety is seemingly endless!
Within all of our ranges we have some patterns with accent colours like the ones above from the Ermenegildo Zegna traveller four season range. A beautiful collection of cloths made from Superfine Australian wool, woven in Italy which we import directly from this world renowned mill. I digress slightly, back to these patterns. When selecting a fabric for a new bespoke creation people get very hung up on the accent colours. Does the blue stripe bring out my eyes? Is the lilac check going to match the colour scheme at my wedding? My favourite colour is red but not the red of this pinstripe, a much brighter red. Is there a different shade of blue lining to match the stripe. While these things are great if they can be done, you should focus on the base. The accent colours of stripes or checks like the ones in the above fabrics will rarely be seen, they are essentially both light grey suits. As a tip and something we always do with our customers, hold the fabric 1.5-2 metres away from you to get a better idea of how it will look, more often than not these accent colours can not be seen.

You will not find these fabrics with any other tailor in Delhi today. A mill steeped in history that has been producing some of the finest cloths in the world since 1896 at their mill in Huddersfield in the heart of England. Dugdale Bros & Co is one of the last surviving independent cloth merchants in Great Britain, they produce some of the finest luxurious wool, cashmere, cotton, linen, lambswool and mohair fabrics available today. Below are just a few of their exquisite ranges we are now carrying. Book an appointment today, you will not be disappointed. Crommelin Irish LinenThis range of linens in beautiful stripes checks and puppytooth designs is perfect for long hot summers. With a washed finish, a suit in this cloth will take you perfectly from office to weekend events. This lightweight gaberdine weave is made from the finest merino wool. This is a "cool wool" meaning it's great for summer months, the gaberdine weave making it naturally crease resistant. And the colour range! We're in love.

beautiful coat without too much weight or becoming uncomfortable to wear

Travel twist flannelThe White Rose CaldonaireTweed has become somewhat popular in the northern regions of India for discerning gentlemen. These delightful yorkshire tweeds adds some superb colours and patterns to our ranges that are real standouts. Interesting fact. Caldonaire takes it's name from 3 rivers running through yorkshire, "Calder" "Don" & "Aire" The second tweed range from Dugdale we are proud to carry.
