Waasi Bespoke
Waasi Bespoke is a renowned brand in the bespoke suit industry, founded in 2021, by an individual with extensive experience in Bangladesh's male designing segment. Renowned in the bespoke apparel industry, they set themselves by upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Waasi Bespoke's signature lies in the intricate detailing of each suit, which is handmade with precision. Every aspect of their suits undergoes meticulous customisation, targeting customers who appreciate meticulous craftsmanship. After the suit is initially completed, they conduct trials on clients, ensuring perfection in fit and aesthetics.
"I started my professional journey at a remarkably young age where I dived into the world of male designing in Bangladesh, cultivating expertise over the years. With a solid reputation among the bespoke suit users' community, I was affectionately known as 'Somon Bhai'. Leveraging that experience and network, I proudly launched Waasi Bespoke in 2021," said Mr Ersad Hossen (Sumon), Chairman of Waasi Bespoke.
Their commitment to detail extends to rectifying imperfections, ensuring the suit looks as good in reality as in pictures. Central to their craftsmanship is the use of horsehair canvas, which ensures a perfect fit, lightweight feel, and natural shoulder structure. Despite the body-hugging fit, their suits exude comfort, allowing ease of movement.
Waasi Bespoke offers suits starting from Tk38,000 for full-canvas, with customisation options dictating the final price. Customers can also provide their fabric to opt for a full-canvas or half-canvas construction, with charges of Tk18,000 and Tk15,000, respectively.
They work with locally and internationally renowned fabric brands, prioritising wool materials to deliver lightweight, durable suits. They also provide after-sales service for up to six months at no additional cost, ensuring customer satisfaction and garment longevity.

Dapper Bespoke
Founded in 2014, Dapper Bespoke has become a respected name in Bangladesh's tailoring scene, known for its dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and timeless style. The brand was born from founder Shahzaman Mozumdar's pure passion for elegance, not formal training.
Though he had no background in fashion, Shahzaman was admired for his impeccable personal style. Recognising a significant gap in the market for well-crafted, tailored garments and knowledgeable service, he teamed up with his trusted tailor of 25 years to build a brand rooted in tradition and refinement.
The brand's vision is carried forward by his son, Shezzane Mozumder, the second-generation Managing Director, who aims to make classical menswear relevant in today's fast-paced world.
While Dapper Bespoke initially embraced a more structured English cut, over time it has evolved into a unique blend of styles, merging the relaxed sophistication of the Neapolitan cut with the clean English drape, offering a silhouette that is laid-back yet masculine.
Beyond suits, the brand has expanded into casual wear, offering outerwear, shirts, and accessories to suit the modern gentleman's wardrobe. With a strong focus on customer education, Dapper Bespoke doesn't just sell garments; it builds lasting relationships and encourages a deeper appreciation for classical menswear.
At Dapper Bespoke, every piece is made with careful precision. Measurements take into account not only the client's size but also posture, facial structure, and movement, ensuring garments feel as natural as they look elegant.
Each suit typically goes through three fittings and takes about 21 days to complete. The tailoring options include half-canvas and full-canvas constructions, with prices starting at Tk 20,000.
