Ordering from Cardiff
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
Fabrics for a mild, wet city
Cardiff rarely gets very cold, but it does get wet, with rain blowing in off the Atlantic through much of the year. Cambric and cotton blends are good everyday choices because they cope with damp days better than fine lawn, and a cotton lining keeps a light print from showing through in a shower. Straight trousers at ankle length stay clear of wet pavements. On a warm summer day, lawn is still the most comfortable choice there is; our lawn fabric guide explains why.
Where Cardiff suits come from
Many unstitched suits in Cardiff arrive from Pakistani brands’ UK websites, or in the suitcase after a family trip to Pakistan. For students at Cardiff University or Cardiff Metropolitan University, a cotton kurta with jeans is an easy choice for lectures, and a two-piece co-ord looks neat for a placement or interview. Our campus outfits guide has more ideas.
Ordering from Wales
Your outfit is made in Pakistan and shipped to your address in Wales, arriving as an import just as it would elsewhere in the UK. With Stitching Only, contact us with photos before posting anything: we confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it, and the finished outfit then comes to you as a separate delivery. With Fabric + Stitching we supply the fabric, and only the outfit travels.
Your written quote confirms the design, production time and shipping cost, and includes any import duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay when the parcel arrives; our UK page sets out what GOV.UK says.
