Ordering from Boston
Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.
Built for a New England winter
Boston winters are cold and windy, and a nor’easter can bury the city in snow overnight. Khaddar, karandi and marina are the natural choices, dense enough to hold warmth and soft enough to layer, and a cotton lining adds one more layer. Full sleeves sit neatly under a parka cuff, and a kameez that falls to the knee keeps you covered on a windy T platform. If you wear a thermal underneath, measure over it or mention it on the form. Our winter fabrics guide compares the options.
Lectures, labs and the Financial District
Students and researchers at Harvard, MIT, Boston University and Northeastern, and staff across the Longwood Medical Area, need clothes that last through a long day and plenty of washing. A cotton or cambric kurta over straight pants, or a matching co-ord, goes from a lecture to a lab meeting to dinner, and a structured kurta with a band collar looks sharp in a Financial District or Seaport office. Summers are warm and can turn humid, so unlined lawn and linen come out in June.
Sending a suit from Massachusetts
Many people here order unstitched collections online from Pakistani brands or bring suits back from trips home. To have yours made up with Stitching Only, send photos and your measurements in inches through the quote form; we confirm the fabric, the quantity and how to send it before you ship anything to Pakistan. The finished outfit then comes back as a separate shipment, with delivery and any US import charges included in your quote, so there is nothing extra to pay when it arrives; our United States page covers the details. Starting from scratch? With Fabric + Stitching, we supply the fabric.

FAQ
Boston questions
Do you have a store or studio in Boston?
No. There is no store, studio or address in Boston or anywhere else in the US, and nobody measures you in person. You order online, and the outfit is made in Pakistan and shipped to your address in the city or the suburbs.
When should I order a winter suit?
Early, ideally by the start of fall. If you are sending your own fabric, it travels to Pakistan and the finished outfit travels back separately, and your written quote confirms the production time and shipping cost.
