Today the town is home to large Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, in areas such as Glodwick and Werneth.

Ordering from Oldham
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the UK: ordering from the UK.
Dressing for a Pennine town
Oldham sits on the western slopes of the Pennines, higher than central Manchester, and its winters are cold and wet, with snow more likely than in the city. For much of the year, khaddar, karandi or a lined cambric kameez will serve you better than fine lawn. If you wear a thin thermal underneath, measure over it or mention it on the form, so there is enough ease. The winter fabrics guide compares the options.
Suits from Rusholme, Cheetham Hill or online
The Metrolink runs from Oldham into central Manchester, where Wilmslow Road in Rusholme has suit shops and the Cheetham Hill wholesalers sell fabric by the metre, and many Pakistani brands also sell online to UK addresses. If you are buying by the metre, send us your design first so we can say how much you need; our guide to buying fabric by the metre explains why roll widths matter.
How ordering works from Oldham
With Stitching Only, contact us with photos before posting anything. We confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it; your fabric then travels to Pakistan, and the finished outfit comes to you as a separate delivery. With Fabric + Stitching we supply the fabric, so only one parcel travels.
Your written quote confirms the design, production time and shipping cost to your OL postcode, from Chadderton to Shaw and Saddleworth, and includes any import duties and taxes, so there is nothing extra to pay when your outfit arrives. Our UK page sets out what GOV.UK says.

FAQ
Oldham questions
Do you have a shop in Oldham?
No. There is no shop or studio in Oldham or anywhere else in the UK. You order online, your measurements and design are agreed in writing, and the outfit is made in Pakistan and delivered to your door.
Can you make a kameez warm enough for an Oldham winter?
Yes. Choose a heavier fabric such as khaddar or karandi, or ask for a cotton lining under a lighter one, and consider full sleeves. The fabric, lining and lengths are agreed in writing before cutting.
