Good decision. The worst thing that happens to tailored shirst in India is the shape of collar and cuffs. It depends on the quality of material used for cuffs and collars. They can cut well, get good quality cloth but the quality materail for cuffs and collars is just not available to these guys. And I am saying this with personal experience. You will be much better going and buying yourself a Zodiac, Luise Phillip or a Van Heusen shirt. Costs anywhere between 1000-1500INR but they are worth it.

When it comes to trousers that is a different matter all together. Taillored trousers and much better than any readymades tha money can buy. I paid about $140 ($35each) for 4 trousers made out of best quality fabric (Raymond Terewools) availble in India and one of the most popular and expensive tailors in Pune. Trousers of that quality are not avaiaolble in any stores in India. And in US It will cost upwards of $100 and may still not fit your shape.
